    And just like that, blue calm skies over west Galway again after hail and lightning. Saw my first fork lightning in the longest time

    The strongest winds inland from the afternoon.


    Had 24mm here yesterday, 1.8mm so far today from heavy showers, gust to 77 km/h, good sunny spells thankfully after the grey of yesterday.

    Some big hailstones in west Galway. The showers are nasty. Wondering will I get my 5k done without getting soaked.

    Cork a few mins ago.

    I have motion detection on and it glitched right as the lightning struck. You can actually hear the window vibrating off against the lens. Loudest bang I ever heard honestly!

    Nice, any video I have ever made of lightning strikes have that click and interference on them. I was leaning against the patio door the other day and could feel it vibrating from the thunder, it was amazing.

    Breezy with showers in Letterkenny, somehow this is worthy of being the top story in the news. Met Eireann seriously need to reevaluate their warning system, I've spoken to plenty of people recently who've lost all confidence in them over all these hyped up 'storms'

    You're probably getting what us in Clare Kerry and Galway had earlier, sun's out here again.

    To be honest I think people are all stormed out. They are taking little interest in the storm warnings. There was little or no talk about Dennis locally (Galway). People know the score and are just prepared to let it happen but life goes on.

    The only time people get 'agitated' about a storm nowadays is when a possible Red warning will give them a day off. :D Weekend storms don't count :pac:

    I love storms myself so this forum and the warning system is just perfect for me.

    Just in from a round of golf here in Meath, sunny with only one short squall! If you were just looking out the window you'd think it was a lovely day!

    Storm blowing up dramatically on the Dingle Peninsula. From partly cloudy and bright to hail and very strong breeze in the last 15 minutes. Hopefully the network connection stays up. Overall, feeling like yesterday was worse than today up till now, but just as bad as yesterday right now.

    Was a lovely day here in Meath but just got hit with strong gusts and a very heavy shower of rain, hail and wet snow in that order while walking on hill of Tara. Sun out again. Typical winters day I suppose.

    Sudden ramp in sustained winds with some meaty gusts in East Galway, some Mammatus overhead.

    Storm Dennis: month's worth of rain falls on south Wales in 48 hours
    https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/press-office/news/weather-and-climate/2020/storm-dennis-triggers-red-rain-warning
    Situation was said to be particularly 'life-threatening' in South Wales,
    where the UK Met Office issued the red warning due to heavy rainfall and flooding risk.
    It is the first red warning issued for rain since 2015.

    Two deaths also. Sea rescues. So far we are very lucky
