Bring it on?

I'll let someone better qualified to do the technical thread.

Looks like lasting about 4 days as its progress bogs down south of Iceland - around 945 mb at the peak.

Not long after driving up to Churchtown from Dublin 6, not the better of it. Pulling out of my estate I could see a wall of white-out hail descending down street from the north. Near the 9 arches LUAS bridge was a flash of lightning, rapidly followed by a short sharp clap of thunder. Car in front of me slowed right down with flashers, so did I as our visibility was hugely hampered. We both pulled into the Dropping Well car park until visibility improved. He then proceeded to his home nearby and I to Churchtown. I see from lightning app that strike was close to Cowper LUAS stop.

Was going to drive from Dublin to Waterford today but just before coming to the motorway I couldn't see with the gusts of hail so decided to leave it. Will there be more hail today?

Witnessed awful mutliple car crashes on a journey driving to Birr last year on the M6 due to hail. Some one was killed in a 10 car pile-up so just try to avoid motorways with hail if at all possible.

Yes there is likely to be, heed Teresa Mannion’s famous advice.

A strong positive lightning strike of 48 kA near the Pigeonhouse Chimneys in Dublin. Anyone see it? There was an even stronger one of 81 kA near Castleisland in Kerry. Click on each strike here to see details.

Definitely wasn't intended that way.

Seems too that there have been a short hold on flights landing in Dublin whilst the worst was happening as per my aviation apps.

Experienced this in an ATR at Cardiff in 2008 where aircraft ended up briefly facing opposite direction, man behind screaming, older pair of pilots later chuffed at their superb landing.

Weather hasn't been too bad so far in Castlebar today. Their was some hail overnight which caused a racket hitting off the bedroom window. Yesterday was horrible, with a lot of heavy rain.

A couple of rumbles of thunder and a max gust of 106 km/ hr around 07.00 has been the best of it so far today.

Dirty now in North Donegal.

Windy enough, but not stormy. Just wet and dark.

That would make it the highest gust at Casement since Storm Dirty Diana on 28 November 2018 (62 kts).

You just caught me as I sign off... I think I posted early today but am rapt reading all the wonderful accounts of hail the size of marbles! WOW! Great thread this is! Thanks all...

All is well here; noisy but safe. Occasional hail and constant high wind.

Stay safe; and thank you! The coverage here has made the day.

It feels like Wales and parts of England have caught the worst of this.

We've gotten off very lucky relatively speaking. I was watching Sky News and they had a reporter in a town somewhere( the name escapes me) but she was reporting live and she was standing on one of the few places of high ground in the town. The rest was flooded and flooded badly.

Picking up again here in Dublin 22. It's lashing again!

Probably being updated.

It's absolutely ridiculous that in the year 2020 they have to take down old warnings for a period of time to update them, or at the very least whoever is doing the updating doesn't know how to do it properly.

The wind in that squall shower was the strongest in the past 2 weekends for sure. Had to come out and help my elderly neighbour home
