Storm 10 · 18-10-2022 8:27pm

Any chance for sparks in Galway

Meteorite58 · 18-10-2022 8:33pm

Heavy rain reaching here near Trlaleeain, that must be some heavy down in Cork and South Kerry

Some height to that storm in Cork, really elevated stuff.

Oscar Bravo · 18-10-2022 8:41pm

Miserable night at Cork airport,strong cross wind, low cloud base. One Ryanair diverting to Dublin

Some could get that far but it might be 04.00 or thereabouts, some storms might head up along the coast close to the coast but hard to know if they will be powered up enough to last long, best action seems to be along the southern coasts, SE - Waterford could be lively later, I see a new batch breaking out heading for the coasts, charts suggest that the storms could make it inland into Munster at least - will see.

18-10-2022 8:51pm

Plenty lightening to be seen from the city now.

spookwoman · 18-10-2022 8:55pm

Big "blob" moving up towards cork. Might bring another round of lightning or very heavy rain

Oscar Bravo · 18-10-2022 9:08pm

Can confirm, flashes clearly visible even in a well-lit apartment. Western suburbs of Cork City here

Winds picking up here as well. together with a bit of rain, nothing noteworthy on that front though.

thomil · 18-10-2022 9:17pm

Please disregard my earlier comment regarding rainfall. Current rainfall status can best be described as "bucketing down"...

igCorcaigh · 18-10-2022 9:18pm

Ooh... thunder in Cork city :)

Itssoeasy · 18-10-2022 9:22pm

thunder and lighting here in the north side of cork city. I was able to notice the lightning even in a room with blinds half way down. Hopefully this doesn’t last that long.

18-10-2022 9:24pm

Spotted a couple of flashes of lightning over Cork city centre. No big rumbles though.

spookwoman · 18-10-2022 9:31pm

heading out to get set up will let report if anything can be seen

Cool! Where are you based @spookwoman?

Oscar Bravo · 18-10-2022 10:00pm

More storms south of Waterford now

JanuarySnowstor · 18-10-2022 10:00pm

Rainfall very patchy so far, though looks like it's quite intense where it is falling.

Where I am in Cork no lightning to report and very little rain. The bulk of the storm seemed to hit west Cork.

Well done Meteorite you could see this potential last night!

My view is that the next couple of days do not warrant an orange warning for rain, looks patchy at best a bit like tonight. As for a thunderstorm warning being issued after the event.....Good forecasting lol

spookwoman · 18-10-2022 10:00pm

Waterford and seeing flashes out to sea

JanuarySnowstor · 18-10-2022 10:03pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119762822#Comment_119762822

indeed they didn't even have the foresight to include Waterford in the thunder warning!! Looks like the bulk of the strikes now moving that way

thomil · 18-10-2022 10:04pm

There's a front heading for Waterford, one that could very well bring quite the light show.

Things have pretty much died down here in Cork. A bit of wind, but no rain and no trace of lightning anymore. Not too optimistic for the rest of the night or tomorrow, at least for my part of Cork.

spookwoman · 18-10-2022 10:06pm

5 shots in can also hear thunder

eagerv · 18-10-2022 10:12pm

West Co Wexford, loads of flashes due south about 50 miles away, gentle rumbling, seems to be traveling north...

Storm 10 · 18-10-2022 10:23pm

Thought the West would not have heavy rain certainly the largest area of rain is moving up along the West Coast at present

spookwoman · 18-10-2022 10:36pm

Damn rains arrived

Dazler97 · 18-10-2022 11:19pm

Will any of the Storms hit Carrick i hope so

Storm 10 · 18-10-2022 11:25pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119763163#Comment_119763163

They look to be dying out now very little happening just rain

spookwoman · 18-10-2022 11:32pm

Best of the few tonight that were way out to sea.

Dazler97 · 18-10-2022 11:45pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119763179#Comment_119763179

Ye that's true maybe another night, August 14th was the best thundery breakdown ever, tons of lightning and extremely heavy rain

Meteorite58 · 18-10-2022 11:58pm

Looks like not much making it far inland so far. Tomorrow looks quite active from the early afternoon and could get a few intense storms again perhaps.

Storm 10 · 19-10-2022 12:16am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119763267#Comment_119763267

Still activity at sea off the South Coast could they push in tonight

Meteorite58 · 19-10-2022 12:29am

Looks very active, firing away . Seems to be travelling at speed too, might wake a few people in W Cork yet 😄

Sporadic lightning near/just off the east coast of Wicklow now. The precipitation is really picking up pace in many parts of the country now. Would not be surprised to hear of reports of lightning in the Dublin area soon.

The area of very active thundery activity in the Bay of Biscay is stunning! It's moving north and is Ireland bound but whether it keeps electrified is quite another thing!

titan18 · 19-10-2022 6:58am

Not really much here in Cork City. Nothing enough to justify an Orange warning so far anyway.

DOCARCH · 19-10-2022 7:02am

Heavy rain/bucketing in Greystones. 26.0mm since midnight.

highdef · 19-10-2022 7:31am

Some fairly potent little cells popping up now in south Meath. The likes of Trim/Athboy may have some lightning strikes shortly plus some torrential rain. There's also another larger area of fairly heavy precipitation nearing the Dublin coastline. This will likely give very heavy falls of rain for eastern part of county Dublin, particularly the northern half. Lightning may also appear if it continues to intensify.

Storm 10 · 19-10-2022 8:25am

Been raining most of the night in the West and not even a yellow warning most of the rain concentrated in the West North and midlands at present

highdef · 19-10-2022 8:33am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119763550#Comment_119763550

Recent strikes between Trim and Athboy in County Meath. In addition, the cells over the Irish Sea are becoming electrically active now.

redsteveireland · 19-10-2022 9:12am

A couple of big active cells moving up the Irish Sea, may reach Dublin, hard to figure out the trajectory as I find the met eireann radar loop and rainfall forecast has been shocking lately, both on mobile and a brand new laptop.

highdef · 19-10-2022 9:27am

This is my latest area of interest, regarding thunderstorm risk for the Dublin area.

DOCARCH · 19-10-2022 11:18am

Lightning activity getting closer to the SE/E coast now. Would expect to hear some distant thunder soon if it was not for the noise of the rain and sea!
