looking like a direct hit

Nice big flash of lightning followed by thunder herein Loughlinstown, have a feeling the next couple of hours are going to be interesting

Attempt #112 over the last few years for a storm to healthily make it over the Wicklow Mts. and give Dublin a proper bash. Stay tuned.

EDIT: Echo the thoughts on the MetE radar. Absolutely chronic across mutliple devices. So slow and laggy.

The thunder and lightning over Rathdrum here was very intense for about 15 minutes. Lost power a couple of times and the glass in one window made a big cracking sound. Biblical rain falling now.

Lots of thunder on the Wicklow coastline, will this magically lose all it's thunder and lightning before reaching Meath and Dublin I wonder.

DOCARCH

On the DART just after Bray. Lots of flashing cloud and can hear the thunder over the noise of the train!

Two strikes near house, walls literally started shaking. First time I remember that happening

I'd be very concerned for the likes of Arklow and Gorey, maybe Wicklow town. Apart from the copious amounts of lightning, rain rates are at flash flood levels. The nearby mountains will not help the situation at all

Nice flash of lightning in D16 now with a loud clap of thunder

beansie

Near constant thunder and lightning with torrential rain in Newtownmountkennedy. House is rattling with the thunder.

Agree. Performance on the rainfall radar is deeply frustrating and very slow

Stephen_Maturin

Couple of flash and rumbles here near Ringsend

Captain_Crash

Constant thunder in Dublin 18 now, yet to see a flash but the clouds are very much alive

adocholiday

That major band of thunder and lightning seems to have passed the Rathdrum area now. Still raining hard but the intensity is gone out of it.

Supercell

Massive boom overhead, literally sounds like the clouds ripping, never heard one so loud, brilliant stuff!

esposito

Getting frequent thunder and lightning now. D16

DOCARCH

Definitely seems to be Dublin bound. In Dalkey atm and lightning/thunder close.

lightning around Dublin. Have just seen why! Tons of it around Wicklow

I’ll rephrase this post, constant lightning on show now! This has me excited!

bennyx_o

One flash in D5 a few mins ago and a couple of claps of thunder since

A lot of aircraft holding west of storm activity

Flash and heavy rumble Dublin 6

DOCARCH

Lightning/thunder pretty much overhead in Dunlaoghaire.

Feels like I am storm chasing by train!

Elmer Blooker

you know it’s close when you see a flash during daylight.

Getting closer now, very long rumble after what looked like a double flash but not sure it happens so quickly?

BLIZZARD7

Frequent rumbles of thunder now for the past while in D14 ! Seems to be getting more intense
