    sea fog rolled in here here in west mayo about 2 hours ago and ruined the day with a cold sea breeze,

    and due to the retarded nature of warning system, under an orange warning for nothing.

    North Clare. I can see the fog off in the distance over the sea and there a bit of a chill here even though we’re not foggy. Still looks nice out. I just notice the chill with the window open.

    Quite active now, big storms up in Donegal and the Midlands getting going ( can see the sea fog along the coasts, around all day here on the Kerry coast ).

    THE LATEST FORECAST.

    (In brackets what met eireann have omitted.)

Localised heavy downpours and thunderstorms will develop, especially across the (inland) west and north. Hail, flash flooding and frequent lightning in some areas along with gusty winds. Highest temperatures of 20 to 24 degrees (except in coastal extremities where temperatures will range from 12 to 17) in generally light and variable winds.

    Lots of very recent strikes between Rosenallis and Tullamore direction, nothing east of that yet. Debating whether going for a cycle from Portarligton to the Slieve Bloom and back at 5 is a good idea or not.

    Saw two amazing flashes and as soon as I took out the camera to record, it dried up. 15 minutes of video of dark cloud doing nothing 😭😭

    And now it's just raining.

    that must be it looking SSW from Dublin, that’s about 60 miles from me I would think looking through the haze.
