    Hillwalking in west Mayo at the moment. It's beautiful here with a cold wind, but bigger clouds visible in the distance to the east (see below)

    We had a heavy shower with pea sized hail in Dublin 9 and a rumble of thunder. The rain is light now.

    I may be in Kildare but near the Meath border and the storm has just about kept on the Meath side of the border throughout....barely a drop a rain here on the Kildare side but a great view of the storm.

    Despite constant thunder for about 20 minutes, I didn't see one flash. Going by the sound of the thunder, it all appeared to be intercloud and very high up, from my viewpoint anyway.

    Looking at webcam of DunLaoghaire Harbour and it looks like some serious hail falling there?

    Certainly some hail mixed with the rain ~1.5 miles away

    Active cell to the West of Dungarvan giving plenty of sferics on the radar.
    Could be an active afternoon by the looks of it.

    Re blitzortung.org: When there's a strike in one location the usual white cross appears, but now also a set of smaller green dots at seemingly random distances, connected briefly to the strike location by white lines. Anyone know that this new feature represents? (A quick Google hasn't helped)

    They are the detector locations and the lines show which detectors are picking up (and triangulating) the strike location.

    The Meath thunderstorm, despite generating copious amounts of intercloud lightning, didn't look that severe on the timelapse video I took:



    And a quick look at it at normal speed before I did the timelapse, with a hunting sparrowhawk seen too:

    Distant rumbles in North Drogheda over the past 20 minutes, dark as night too. Haven't seen any flashes. There was a torrential rain and hail shower about 1.45pm
