    Unbelievable how fast the clouds are bubbling up, haven't seen that since my last time in Germany. Thunder is pretty much constant and getting louder, excited!

    I can see some big convection near by, if only the person beside me would turn off the car I might hear something.

    The latest SIGMETs have those Biscay storms in a weakening phase at the moment. Probably not much to be had from them, so it's all eyes on the homegrown stuff.

    Light shower with Heavy drops just passed in Ennis, loud long rumbles audibles.


    However it's the smell you'd really notice, the smell of the first rain hitting the grass, maybe ozone in the atmosphere too?


    Suns out again drying everything right up very quickly.

    Looking south from Athlone. A beautiful line of big tall towers marching along to the south.


    Wish they were detouring north

    The frequency and density of strikes in that main storm is really impressive. And it's Bord Bia certified made in Ireland!

    Makes a change !! 😂

    Those storms should migrate over Galway city and towards the W coast later this afternoon / early evening, maybe a chance later tonight along the South coast especially coastal Cork.

    One strike overhead, electricity gone. Hopefully no damage done to appliances, thunder isn't that loud but very dark and ominous outside with torrential rain
