Sky news doing more coverage on Ireland than RTE at the moment, given Sky's regular broadcasts, they seem to love the footage of Graignamanagh with the water pouring out of buildings into the street.
They also had their Irish reporter in Cork with reports.

And still not a peep from our *national broadcaster* in the last 15 hours. As someone said, their extension leads wouldn't reach across the M50

I think the Sky shots were actually RTE footage - their reporter was in the North doing a voice over as far as I could make out.

They have all been from local people on the ground. They were showing locals video since last night. All this has been available on the weather forum here on boards since 11 last night, being constantly updated.

Thanks for clarifying that.

Is there a reason as to why you thought that?

There's just been a good feature on the BBC news, as usual el nino is thought to be behind the run of storms of the last 5 to 6 weeks. It turns out that Frank after it left us kept heading in a northerly direction and ended up near the North pole, heating it up considerably probably causing even more of the polar caps to melt.

One clip I saw had already been shown on RTE and the reporter did not come into view until the end of the clip when it was said that he was in the North.

From other sources it seems some of the clips were posted by various viewers, which I accept.

So, as of now; the images seem to be from a variety of sources and the reporter was only in the North

Atlantic Disturbance Could Become Unusual January Subtropical Storm

The tropical Atlantic is usually in its winter slumber in January.

That may not be the case in 2016.

An area of low pressure is swirling in the western Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda, producing a large area of tropical-storm force winds.

Although the storm does not currently have any tropical characteristics, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring it for possible development into a subtropical storm later this weekend or next week.

February breaks global temperature records by ‘shocking’ amount

Global temperatures in February smashed previous monthly records by an unprecedented amount, according to Nasa data, sparking warnings of a climate emergency.

The result was “a true shocker, and yet another reminder of the incessant long-term rise in global temperature resulting from human-produced greenhouse gases”, wrote Jeff Masters and Bob Henson in a blog on the Weather Underground, which analysed the recently released data.

It confirms preliminary analysis from earlier in March, indicating the record-breaking temperatures.

If only Ireland coud tap into some of this heat :rolleyes:

The BAR Triangle.

i was watching the TV3 weather forecast during the week and when commenting on the upcoming heat for yesterday, he referred to the BAR triangle as the place in Ireland likely to experience the hottest temperatures.

BAR meaning - Ballinasloe, Athlone, Roscommon.

Is this actually a thing in weather circles or is it just something made up by the weatherman for the craic ?

piuswal · 21-04-2016 05:15PM

I suspect that any Irish Meteorologist will say they have never heard of it.

This is amazing non-stop mid-continental lightening recorded from a plane between Detroit & Chicago.

A plane is a fantastic place for watching electrical storms.

Our friend James Madden is at it again.

James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather, said the first bitter blast will hit the north in as early as November.

He said the next four months could be plagued by heavy and persistent snow broken up by storms and heavy rain.

He said: “Despite the much warmer than average but unsettled summer and the warm start to autumn, people should not be lulled into a false sense of security.
