Today was very interesting. Constant thunder for an hour. Lots of lightning and torrential rain. No hail though. Where was that?

Someone I know in Coolaney had a video of a very heavy hail shower yesterday evening. Here in Ballintogher we got heavy rain for about 20-30 mins at about 7.30 I think and plenty of rolling thunder and lightning. No hail :)

Adriatic up around Croatia, Italy etc getting a right dose at the mo ( Blitzortung.org Live map ). Some number of strikes there

SW over Wicklow,

Larbre34

I'm heading up the N4 corridor at the moment and visual cues are looking good, unusual to see lightning activity early AM, could be some hefty stuff mid to late afternoon.

Banarol

The latest activity is confined to Wicklow

pureza

Sunny in Arklow but avoiding storms today is unlikely when you see sharp edges on the side of building cb's like this one,the grey and white contrast in that cloud being a dead giveaway to the spawns of thunder this early the day ?

pureza

Hearing a lot of Sferics on AM radio locally now

Another old school thunder detection system,probably from that cloud I posted above

It doesn't mean theres lightning yet,it just means its nearly ready to come out of the oven

Trebor176

Thunder and heavy rain in Blessington.

My view from Arklow of the strorms over central and Southwest Wicklow

Strong sea breeze here feeding right into them

Near constant thunder in Kildare from the cell near Hollywood.

Thats quite active,latest strikes are multiple and breaking out on the south side of it now too near Aughrim which is getting closer to me,it looks like something expanding outwards as much as southwards at the moment ?

OldRio

Heavy rumbles of thunder in Leitrim, near to Ballinamore. Sky is getting very dark. Wet rain at the moment.

pureza

Multiple strikes breaking out further down that growing convergence line storm into mid wexford now

Also hearing the distant thunder here near Arklow now,although we may be safe enough from it at the minute

pureza

Lightning and Thunder in the Tinahely area now,I'm told,I can even hear it from here about 15kms East of it,which is impressive ?

Ballylad

constant rumbles and v dark sky near us (ardattin tullow Carlow)

chris2007

Hopefully dublin escapes any thunderstorms today

Dazler97

Can hear distant thunder ⛈️ here in carrick

Rougies

Pretty impressive thunderstorm centered over Ferns, Wexford. Very slow moving, I'd imagine there is flash flooding in the area. I can hear it rumbling away here near Enniscorthy.
