Very strange day. Never seen the entire country so active, for long at once. The storms haven't been that intense in Waterford. Plenty of strikes but they seem quite weak and pass quickly compared to summer storms I've noticed.

am seeing fork lightning now to my south east over the sheefry hills in Mayo.

I'd say these Storms are generated as winds are a southerly drawing up that Mediterranean heat from Spain and at times France

memories of October 2003 coming back .... but completely different. Then it was caused by Arctic air over the warm Irish Sea.
