    Electrified potent looking shower over Kilkenny town. Another decent looking cell around Killarney town and in general, a lot seems to be picking up in general now, currently south of a line from Dublin city to the Shannon Estuary.

    Rumbles of thunder over Carlow Town.
    Getting louder and raining heavily enough now.

    That big rain band moving through Munster; should it make its way into Cork City?
    Looks like fairly heavy rain from the radar.

    Big flash across the n80 and loud thunder just south east of Carlow. (On route to home)

    Will that band reach Dublin or just weaken off?

    A cell was born around Blessington and is currently heading towards south west Dublin, the of Tallaght and surrounding areas could be hit by something of interest shortly.

    Presumably the Dublin mountains won't have a significant shadow effect on 25,000 ft topped storms?

    It may in fact be the hills/mountains that are triggering these cells through orographic lifting.

    I saw 'snowfall' trending on Twitter and I thought, crikey, those downpours must be dropping the temperature like mad, till I spotted it was the name of a horse that won for Aidan O'Brien earlier at York! ðŸ˜

    A new line of thunderstorms forming from Galway to the north east and and moving south eastwards

    Please check out my varied content on YouTube.com/@jpmarn. That’s includes some weather.

    Incredibly poor stuff from Met Eireann, who didn't put Galway or the North west in general in their yellow thunderstorm warning earlier today. The mind boggles!

    Heard a long heavy rumble awhile ago in North East Galway . No sign of activity. Met Eireann shows sparks between Mountbellew and Ballinasloe.

    OK, a weather forecaster made a mistake, I don't see why why we have to mull over it every time.

    MT called this today with showers moving South into Connacht from a front over Scotland fair play, it's disappointing when they don't happen
