    Epic storms over Wicklow and just out to sea, the mountains are making short work of this for Dubs so far.

    Really odd here in Sligo, the cloud bank is still lighting up constantly. It’s very hard to localize, other than a general impression of direction and way less obvious thunder than flashes. Also very little on lightingmaps. And the dogs aren’t going mad!

    I still have hope, it’s very very slowly inching northwards!

    Fingers crossed for Dublin, not much needs to happen to fill in the gap between two strong clusters to south and east. Surface winds backing to northeast will help given the uplift direction created by that. Think it may come together within 30-45 mins. Even so, has been a great outcome for the southeast coast and good for inland northwest. Glass half to three quarters full I suppose.

    Show seems to be over in Sligo, bar the odd flash. It lasted about 35 minutes all in. Light rain now as the sky lightens. I’ve never seen anything like that.

    Thunder in Dublin 22. I think Wicklow's event is moving upwards.

    Huge cracks in Greystones, some of the loudest thunder I've ever heard. Some fork lightning now too.

    I'd say the whole estate heard the missus shout "f*cking deadly!"
