    Torrential rain here in waterford city. Can’t get any good pics unfortunately , just the sky lit up . It’s a pity I can’t catch the lightening trails.

    I have attached a pic from now and also slightly off topic a pic I got in Czech Republic a couple of years ago with nice lightening streak

    There are some sferics being picked up now in the Irish sea south of the Wicklow border with Wexford, could be a good night for some.

    not much chance from Dublin, maybe those living on the border with Wicklow might see some flashes looking south if Wicklow get's some storms.
