Torrential rain here in waterford city. Can’t get any good pics unfortunately , just the sky lit up . It’s a pity I can’t catch the lightening trails.

I have attached a pic from now and also slightly off topic a pic I got in Czech Republic a couple of years ago with nice lightening streak

There are some sferics being picked up now in the Irish sea south of the Wicklow border with Wexford, could be a good night for some.

SweetCaliber

Kermit.de.frog

Oooh is that a small cell developing in west Dublin, lol, random if it kicks off

not much chance from Dublin, maybe those living on the border with Wicklow might see some flashes looking south if Wicklow get's some storms.

Plenty of flashes north of me around Gorey,
