No lightning in Kinsale, looking at the direction of travel, looks like the strikes will miss us.

My family near Thurles are reporting some thunder in the last few minutes, it seems to be heading inland very quickly.

Drop of rain in Kilkenny just now

Storm 10

It looks to be spreading out as it goes North West if it keeps going it could reach Limerick/Clare/Galway we will see what happens

Danno

Mad big drops downpouring in Durrow - hard to know if there's thunder as it's noisy!

Well that was short lived, not enough to tip the AWS rain bucket either!

Thunder North offaly just now

Some beefy looking cells popping up in the middle of the country now. Possibly some sparks for them shortly. Also a very decent cell about to land in the southeast in Wexford. Plus a few cells near the border in the north. The warm air still present in the eastern third of the country throwing fuel into the fire, so to speak.

Very little rain from the potential that cell had in Cork. It mostly died out as it reached the coast. It's only 17c in Cork and in my experience (cape, potentials etc all notwithstanding) its just too cold and kills off convection.

some massive flashes & bangs in east-clare, like night time at the mo

highdef

Thunder just heard to my east, between Edgeworthtown/Ballymahon direction

I think I’ve heard a few rumbles just now in NW Donegal.

Jpmarn

Still dry near Limerick City. Thought I heard some far away thunder just over an hour ago.

dinorebel

Big rumble just now in Letterkenny.

dacogawa

Irish sea picking up now (posted in the other thread by mistake).

Comhrá

Looks like another thunderstorm bust countrywide.

I saw a few faint flashes around Birdhill, Co.Tipp around 10.30am which appeared to be cloud to cloud but that was it. Just fizzled after that.

chris2007

will this reach dublin?

spookwoman

Still potential for that cell off the south west of the uk hitting later

It was supposed to move east and wasn't supposed to make it to land (met office) but it has now so you never know...

DOCARCH

Can hear distant rumbles of thunder in Greystones. Sky dark to the south.

dacogawa

A friend in Rathnew said it has arrived.
