Cold air spreading aloft tonight after the cold front into tomorrow and the passage of troughs giving instability along with diurnal heating tomorrow afternoon will give some heavy showers and some might contain hail and a few sporadic showers may become electrified although there is low shear and lapse rates available. Pulse type brief thunder storms if any. Later Sunday evening the NW/ N might see some heavy showers and again some might have hail and become electrified.

Here we go again, lightening strike near my house just now, heavy hail storm atm.

Mountains NE of Sneem, 600 ft ASL

SlowBlowin

Just the one strike, small event.

Edit: It shows on met.ie but not on lightening maps, I wonder where met.ie get their lightening data ?

Extremely potent cell just about or else just has hit land west of Galway city. I would guess around Spiddal or possibly just east of it.

Storm 10

Thunder and lightning in Spiddal a while ago

highdef

As well as that potent shower around Spiddal, there looks to be a very active squall like feature developing, hitting much of the Clare coast imminently and may well affect Galway City shortly however the recent heavy shower west of the city may leave the city somewhat in a less wet location than further south. This may change in the coming minutes though.

Yeah house and car alarms going off all around the place. Some downpour that

Recent squall in North kildare with hail and thunder

highdef

If the squall I've just had in North kildare is in any way as strong when it arrives in Dublin imminently, we'll likely be getting a good few reports here. I reckon some tree branches and limbs were probably broken in the surrounding areas. Was really very very fierce.

Hail and a single lightning strike just north of Newport, Mayo. Had some hail and sleet earlier too so a miserable aul day.

Saw two excellent fork lightning strikes a couple of minutes apart from Swords around 6pm. Happened to be looking in exactly the right direction both times

Hail shower at 17:50. I went out the back garden and the brightest flash and instant bang and crackling as a bolt flew right over my head. Frightened the ****e out of me. My boys came running downstairs because they seen the flash. Struck a tree stake 30m from the house.

DumbBrunette

What's your location? That's the exact time of the two big strikes near Swords!

I see a nice bit of heat recorded today, creating some instability.

Just a few drops here earlier from high elevated blanket cloud, feels humid.

Meteorite58

Fairly hefty thunderstorms broke out in the UK today with good diurnal heating and plenty of moisture in the atmosphere with Dp of 10 and 11 C in places. Just a slight chance of some sparks around SE and S coasts but low probability . See a band of heavy rain heading into the SE now.
