No energy in the first band of showers in the cold front, just some cooling rain now in Galway

Dazler97

Nothing here in carrick yet but the clouds look thundery still very warm all the same

Crazy how quickly the roads have dried after that torrential down pour.

Do we have a chance for more activity tonight at all?

kegg

Im In castlebar and can't see it happening here. Seems to be too cool. Hope I'm proved wrong though.

The models say the front should produce heavier rain as it moves north but I doubt it will spark much tbh

monster1

Very very heavy rain here in roscommon now. No sparks unfortunately

showers starting to get intense again

Big rumbles of thunder in North-east Galway towards Roscommon direction

Starting up here again I think! Heard a rumble. Now it’s dark hopefully will see some lightning. And just as I typed that a big flash. East Mayo.

Yea seems to be kicking off south of knock airport.

Fork lighting right beside my house I think..

Massive bang right away

Thunder and lightning again now towards the east.. south of ballyhaunis

Sitting outside in roscommon and haven't heard a peep yet, definitely not seen anything.…though met eireann is showing a load of strikes right outside town.. the direction I'm facing!

Is there anything showing up on lightning maps for you all? Hasn't been a peep out of it in a half hour even though ive refreshed it

I know it's probably user error but I feel like I'm being gaslit about the lightning on my doorstep 😄

Oh, just checked blitzortung and it's showing them, slightly older strikes... must have patience

I haven't seen anything on lightning maps or another app I use but saying that maybe we will get something yet , I'm in carrick on shannon , still very warm isn't it

.Donegal.

Lightning strikes have eased last 20 minutes or so. Air smells like just it rained here but still dry.

Thstvpassed over us on the north Clare coast about 9:30. Small little shower then but very dark. It’s filled it a lot since then.

Its grand here now, it's cooled off a good bit and feels fresh

I can see now on blitzortung.org, the strikes on met e were just hard to see in the radar

Nothing at all on lightning maps when earlier it was working grand, idk

bodhrandude

Any more word from our Clare Correspondents, is the cell edging its way up to Galway?

Storm 10

Torrential rain in Galway flash of lightning in the bay

Dazler97

Rain has arrived here in carrick, no thunderstorm yet still 19ºc

homewardbound11

Heavy rain for the past hour and a half in castlebar. Lightening still visible over Westport and Newport . It was some thunder show from 4:30 to 5:30 today. It never stopped , not a breaks between claps of thunder . Haven’t seen anything like that since a holiday in France once . Next day there was hail storms with hail as big as a golf ball . Hope that doesn’t come . Starting to cool down here finally .

monster1

It stopped all of a sudden around 22:30ish for us down Castlerea direction.. There was a lot of lightning for about an hour.

Dank Janniels

Rumbles in North-East Galway followed by an absoloute downpour!

Dazler97
