Doesn't the warning include all of Connacht?

Torrential rain with constant thunder in this clip a short time ago here near Tralee. Temp right down to 12.5C now. Got windy under the cell during the heavy rain and hail, could see the cloud base swirling a bit. Coming up on 25 mm now since midnight, 19 mm in about an hour. Had a rain rate of 51 mm an hour.

Still have thunder and lightning, heavy rain just starting again.

Seems to be picking plenty on it's outer ranges - probably because it's heavy rain & high up

Incredible thunderstorm here in SW Donegal at the moment, floods everywhere

Discodog

The Northern half of the country seems to be getting it this time

Any danger of that energetic activity over Wales giving the Dublin region some fun?

Little snowy old me

By the looks of things, there will be nothing for Dublin or the east coast today or over the next few days.

Almost an hour of thunder in Sligo and rain just starting now
