    I'd nearly trust all you lads here on the weather forum more than I'd trust Met Eireann..

    Guess what, if they didn't mention thunderstorms in their forecast and they did happen, you would still be saying they are hopeless

    Caught that thunder here a while ago. That shower cave crib nowhere. I was out weather and a few showers booked up but it seems they really got going after 2:30 onwards. The shower that delivered thunder is streaming in off the sea and running inland now. It really did start as a small shower on my walk but I could see it over Lahinch interdicting but really wasn’t expecting lightening and torrential rain in time!

    Can see Cb from Greystones, between the showers, related to those strikes.

    Was looking out at a hailstone downpour and then saw fork lightning hit behind a forest just now followed by very loud thunder, another belt shortly after but seems to have just passed through. Wasn't expecting that. SE Tipp
