    Yellow warning at present but like the 1st June this has the potential to produce some very heavy rain and a fair amount thunderstorm activity. Worthy of a thread and could keep all reports of both rainfall and lightning in here.

    Good heating tomorrow helping convection with plenty of moisture in the atmosphere and aided by some weak convergence.

    Is a nice period of summer weather usually followed by a day of heavy rain?

    Looks like you're correct. A single sferic in a small isolated cell that popped up there:

    Unusually early in the day for those to pop up. Usually after 4pm when they appear. More to come, hopefully. :)

    Not necessarily. Warm and settled weather means high pressure is dominating, but it can break down gradually to a slack low, W'ly winds, cooler and more showers, it doesnt have to be a heavy rain event.

    The localised thundery being experienced some days currently is due to instability and other factors detailed in the convention thread.

    Still rumbling away in Connemara getting closer to Roundstone, not seeing many flashes but it's still very sunny where I am.

    EDIT : In fact going by sound I'd say there's a separate part over Carna/Cashel direction
