SEPT 23 1989 · 30-07-2019 3:10pm

the whole place just shook again

never seen anything like this

RedorDead · 30-07-2019 3:10pm

Rolling south towards tallaght area now. Thunder had the deepest weirdest rumbling noise i have ever heard. It was like massive rolling barrels.

Shlippery · 30-07-2019 3:11pm

This is the end of the world in Citywest.

Unreal stuff.

Stevieluvsye · 30-07-2019 3:11pm

Sweet Jesus. never heard a bang like that before in my life

Newcastle

Kermit.de.frog · 30-07-2019 3:12pm

Cauliflowers exploding in my line of sight :pac:

Stevieluvsye · 30-07-2019 3:13pm

By far the loudest Thunder i have ever heard

Little snowy old me · 30-07-2019 3:13pm

Best thunderstorm in Lucan in years. One particular savage flash and rumble about 10 minutes ago. Still lightning and loud thunder to the south. Clearing from the north. Intense rainfall for 25 minutes. Great to finally get a decent summer storm.

Badabing · 30-07-2019 3:15pm

Loads of car alarms going off now, Old Bawn Tallaght. Unreal rain

Looking at the radar looks like a rash of cells breaking out in Meath and Louth moving south.

Still hearing lots of distant rumbles in Dublin 16.

Stevieluvsye · 30-07-2019 3:15pm

That storm is going to hit tallaght in the next few minutes

SEPT 23 1989 · 30-07-2019 3:26pm

this afternoons rainfall reading from Casement will be interesting

pad199207 · 30-07-2019 3:32pm

Fierce fork lightning at Liffey Valley a little while ago.
Loudest thunder I’ve heard in a long time, the car park literally shook!

I'm nearby to there, and I will be epic I suspect. Some amount fell from that little cell.

Really loud and a strike hit the right field nearby, whole place shook!

I want more! (with the caveat that people and property stays safe)

Trebor176 · 30-07-2019 3:38pm

Back in Clondalkin. There was another rumble a minute or so ago. It has brightened up.

Getting off the LUAS at the Red Cow, the thunder sounded strange. Kind of crackly.

It has been a good while since I have heard that amount of thunder. More than the early morning back at the end of June.

More to come?

Come on wind! Turn just a tiny bit more northwest!! :pac:

PukkaStukka · 30-07-2019 3:41pm

I'm in Donabate, lovely sunny day here. But to my west I've been watching the biggest bad tempered cell erupt out of nothing in the last 30 minutes. I'm not one bit surprised that those of you under it are having a ball

Kermit.de.frog · 30-07-2019 3:46pm

Cracking looking storms developing over Monaghan right now - convergence zone stuff.

chris2007 · 30-07-2019 3:47pm

Anything expected for north Dublin in an hour or 2?

Larbre34 · 30-07-2019 3:47pm

Yes, probably. Lots of development to come up until circa between 8 and 9 pm.

That wouldn't be the cleverest idea tonight.

The nature of this is hit and miss so you might be grand anyhow.

Drove that road (Churchtown Road Lower) on my way back from the city centre earlier. Can confirm state of it was as per that picture!

pad199207 · 30-07-2019 4:00pm

Bucketing again in Liffey valley

thomasj · 30-07-2019 4:05pm

Heavy rain has kicked off again in the city

Just spotted funnel cloud from that cell.

PukkaStukka · 30-07-2019 4:13pm

I'll trump you west Dublin!

DOCARCH · 30-07-2019 4:14pm

Nearby thunder in Dublin 16 and starting to rain again.

Rougies · 30-07-2019 4:16pm

Heard thunder there presumably from the city center cell. Not showing up on live lightning maps.

Frequent thunder now, North Dublin.

something up with the Luas at Saggart as well

chris2007 · 30-07-2019 4:49pm

Is all the action over now

patneve2 · 30-07-2019 4:54pm

Heavy convective shower S. Dublin Coast

Kermit.de.frog · 30-07-2019 4:58pm

Less focus on thunder and lightning I think from now on but still very heavy downpours.

highdef · 30-07-2019 5:05pm

New active cell just east of Ashbourne.

Additionally, convection really getting going in the west side of County Meath.

Kermit.de.frog · 30-07-2019 5:09pm

EDIT: like highdef says

Cell active now near Ashbourne - headed for Dublin city.

Kutebride · 30-07-2019 5:20pm

Savage rain. We are in the firing line here in Meath. Waiting to hear a bang of thunder. Deadly warm, as my mother would say

Rock Lesnar · 30-07-2019 5:41pm

No Thunder, just rain here in my area of Meath anyway

Meteorite58 · 30-07-2019 5:41pm

Some big Convection there, how much juice left in it ?

Train of convection running in a SE'ly direction through Cavan, Meath Kildare, Dublin , looks like it is dropping a lot of rain.

Looks like lightning getting closer to the NE in some very active cells.

PukkaStukka · 30-07-2019 5:55pm

There's a cell sparking furiously off the coast of Drogheda but it's trajectory is not onshore

Little snowy old me · 30-07-2019 5:57pm

No thunder and lightning, but another intense cloudburst in Lucan for the last 20 minutes. Heaviest rainfall I have seen here in years.

Trebor176 · 30-07-2019 5:58pm

Bucketing down in Clondalkin now.
