Convective/Thunderstorm Discussion : Spring/Summer 2020

Danno

Seen two cloud-to-cloud forks off to my SE from here in south Laois! Impressive. Sky is flickering from the east and south east - two different storms.

I'm outside most of today and it's warm enough to sleep, wish we had more nights like this

Meteorite58

Very cold cloud top from the cell coming from Cornwall, plenty of hail in that I'd imagine.

Plenty of flashes to the South of Waterford City. A dead heat out there

Danno

Shower forming over Enniscorthy on the rain radar

Well one. I didn't realize, and two I'm the punisher so I'm not so bothered, I do have some respect though I actually did turn it down... So same as listening off phone and not crazy loud

I'm about a mile away from tramore bay, rumbles getting closer and lightening getting brighter.

Distant flashes, faint rumbles, waterford city

Only thunder I can hear thus far in Waterford is coming from my rear end. Kebab was good though. Hoping to see a show tonight.

Listening on their headphones, surely

Lighting to the south of Waterford, faint rumble.

Any for Carrick on Shannon? I know there's a few showers expected at 3am

Danno

Quite a line developing from Waterford City to Bangor in North Wales all pushing slowly west-northwestwards!

Building quickly on this. https://www.lightningmaps.org/?lang=en

C'mon, fill in that 'ring of fire' now! :cool:

Meteorite58

The size of that storm off Devon/ Cornwall, , will surly reach here ?

Gonzo

could well be some fairly explosive action across Wexford/Waterford/Wicklow and perhaps parts of eastern Cork tonight if the storms don't die out.

If that Devon storm makes landfall here could it be a mini 1985 in the works for some lucky areas?

Four Phucs Ache

North laois here looking east and cloud tops light up every 3 mins towards dub/wicklow.

BLIZZARD7

Just heard a distant rumble there - D14.

Really starting to fire up now..

Danno

The rainfall has been building and building over the last half hr! https://www.netweather.tv/live-weather/radar

Turn on the sound!

Trebor176

A couple of strikes have been detected east of Dublin. Maybe they will come further inland?

kyomi

I'm lying in a hammock in the garden on the Mizen peninsula - came out here to look for meteors but I can see plenty of flashes over the eastern horizon! No thunder (yet?).

Starting to get epic off the Dunmore East coast: mostly sheet lightening but pretty sure I saw some fork lightening as well. Thunder still ‘far away’ thought: a bit surprising give the amount of flashes.

There's a nice bit of fork here in Tramore.

Well thunderstorms may reach me tonight

tramore cams are very poor, but we might get some views:

micks cam will probably be the best option tonight though:
