    Any idea what part of Wexford?

    Near Adamstown. To me it looks almost 80% down and with a funnel that big I’d say it was interacting with the ground at some point.

    Screenshot on the radar in that area with arrow pointing to Adamstown.

    If it was Dublin, we wouldn't hear the end of it with so many sensational headlines.

    If a funnel cloud touches down and there's nobody there to see it, does it make a sound?

    Extreme weather in Dublin is more impactful. Everyone needs to get over that simple fact.

    I think sryan's post was tongue in cheek (....as he his a Dub).

    Wexford is where it seems to be these days!

    Aaaagh Fook!

    When on my drive yesterday evening, I arrived into Castlecomer in north Kilkenny and was trying to decide whether to head from there to either east Kildare or West Wexford... looked at the radar and thought that Wexford was at it's peak and would probably die out before I got there, so headed to east Kildare where development was taking place.

    I made the wrong call. :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Those were serious looking funnels in Wexford.

    Few cells popping up in the Northeast now, wonder will they spark?

    A quick search of YouTube throws up 10 videos of funnels in Wexford and only one in the more populated Dublin. That's depressing for those of us living in the capital.

    What do people think of chances for thunderstorms in Dublin tomorrow? Will it be just heavy prolonged showers or will we have some sparks too

    The Met Eireann forecast for my area (coastal north Dublin) is showing rain and thunder from 4pm tomorrow until 9am the following morning - I'm praying that this is the case as I haven't seen lightning here since 2016!

    It had the same for me today for 7 hours straight, no even a hint of rain let alone thunder. Very strange.

    Some embedded storms certainly possible, but its a real roll of the dice.

    Milder and more humid here in south Laois today with generally overcast conditions alternating between heavy dark spells and bright spells. Temperatures going from 17°c to 19°c accordingly and dewpoints around the 14°c mark. No precipitation though. Light breeze ~5mph alternating between NNW and NNE.

    @Danno - I'm curious as to why you use mph for wind speed.

    I grew up with using miles and continue with them as I'm familiar with them from the get go. Interestingly, I'd use metres in place of yards but would use feet also!

    It's complicated! :D

    Met Eireann's meteogram has gone a bit mad lately, showing thunderstorms for hours and hours, even for here:

    NqVJQZe.png

    Not the first time they have showed this in recent days. Must be something to do with a change in an algorithm or something, but one that is highly misleading.
