    One of the cracks in north Dub sounded like a bomb going off at a moderate distance, i.e. a sharper more intense burst of noise, as opposed to the low rolling rumble I'm more used to.

    Fairly active day, the ADT below is tuned more to CG's whereas Blitzortung picks up a lot of the cloud to cloud as well as CG's.

    Are there any local weather stations near Carpenterstown (D15) that recorded rainfall yesterday? There was a downpour around 4pm, lasting about an hour, and I'd like to know what the total was for that.

    Small chance of a thunderstorm in Clare or Galway this afternoon early evening, possibly along those coasts also, chances are low and very isolated.

    Models showing heavy convective showers tomorrow courtesy of the circulation of LP to the South feeding in bands of rain and showers and a thunderstorm risk mainly in Munster but maybe straying into Connaught and possibly parts of midlands but a lower risk there I would think. Some models showing it quite active in Munster. Low level shear and convergence zones with a negatively tilted upper trough aiding instability and vorticity. Could see a shot of activity along the Kerry /Cork border perhaps being aided by orographic lift and converging winds.

    A small chance of a thunderstorm tomorrow mostly in the SW perhaps and Thurs looks active and more widespread potential across the country with good sunshine levels giving decent CAPE, temperatures getting up to the high teens and over 20C in a good area in central Ireland, decent Theta E readings giving plenty of moisture in the atmosphere and decent enough DLS. Will need to keep an eye on Thurs as has to look for a few days now of being quite active and could produce warnings.
