Thunderstorm warning ⚠️ for Leinster

Dublin airport just got an aerodrome thunderstorm warning. Usually very reliable.

Would that be imminent or a period of time?

Birdnuts

Big flash of lightning and heavy thunder just now near my parents place south of Kill Village Kildare

A few loud claps west Co Wexford at the moment. Has been interesting down here the last week..

The Macho Man

Looking SW from inner city Dublin. Rooftops obstructing the view.

Heavens about to open any minute now. South Dublin.

Biblical rain in Dublin. No thunder yet!

DOCARCH

Almost 30mm in one hour in Greystones. Eased up now.

mrsdewinter

Well, I got caught up in that downpour (Glasnevin-city centre, around 3pm): like a monsoon, I imagine.

Needmoretea

Finally a rumble, but omg that was some rain

sparrowcar

1 loud clap of thunder in NCD but almost zero rain.

Elmer Blooker

12mm in a very short period, two long rumbles but only after the shower passed through and the rain had stopped, from the direction of NCD as mentioned above.

Rain in D8 was absolutely biblical earlier on.

pureza

Peak rain rate at my station in Arklow was 202mm/hr I see at 155pm

Meteorite58

Todays record, some reports of very heavy rainfall out there today and ongoing this evening.

Tues afternoon possible thunderstorms, E, N and NE perhaps.

appledrop

We have had biblical rain in NCD from about 3.30pm on.

We also got some thunder and a few flashes of lighting around that time.

Meteorite58

Standout MUCAPE maturing in the NE tomorrow , surface temperatures getting up to 17 or 18C and Dp's into the low teens, pronounced converging winds in the afternoon in the NE with decent lower level shear and a fair amount of Deep layer shear could set off very heavy localised rainfall and some thunderstorms. Will be interesting to see if we get reports of funnels or tornadic activity in the NE or waterspouts along the coast there.

I can see northern Ireland in a weather warning tomorrow for thunderstorms and rain

.Donegal.

Where storms are particularly frequent 20 to 30 mm of rain may build up over 2 or 3 hours. Frequent lightning, hail and gusty winds will be additional hazards in some places.

Couple of strikes off the Antrim coast now and a couple of recenet strikes off the south Wicklow coast.
