Some small but potent storms kicking off around the country. Worth a separate thread as this risk for big thunder and big lightning is there until tomorrow night at least. All parts at risk this evening but east and south main focus tomorrow.
Great vid!
Huge rainfall here near Athenry in the last hour.
I recorded 2cm during the thunderstorm that came.
Here is a quick video that I recorded of the storm as it passed over Athenry after i moved passed me.
EDIT: thats a screenshot from met.ie radar of what I recorded on my drone. Im not sure why it doesnt show more strikes. Maybe it was mostly cloud cloud lightning over Athenry?
A few grumbles in Longford and wind has suddenly picked up. Leaves everywhere
You are better placed for after midnight and throughout tomorrow.
Can posters in the affected areas get a video or 2 please I've not seen yet go up
:(
What happened to the direct hit?
Snap I took earlier on as that storm was building up over west Roscommon. It produced about 3 drops of rain here in NE Galway.
Just brought in clothes off the line here in Kerry, smattering of raindrops starting up and can hear thunder in the distance.
Dog getting restless here north of Knockmealdowns. A few spots of rain, dark skies to west and SW. One flash of lightning the other side of Galtees, about 25km away. Kilmallock direction.
Having suffered a direct strike to the house before, I'll probably shut off my mains isolation switch if it reaches here later!
Frequent strikes around Croagh Patrick in Co Mayo from 7.30 to 7.45, far more than what the lightning detectors picked up.
Thunder lightning and colossal amount of rain. Fenagh Leitrim.
Its so dark. More lightning.
It's been building tge last 20 minutes or so, loads of flashes from it
Not expecting much here in Meath, as usual we will miss out. Seems Meath, Louth and Dublin are the places least likely to get a storm tonight.
It’s seems to be moving away from the north side of cork city(unscientifically based on how loud the thunder is) which is good.
Persistent, if not constant rumbling here in Ballincollig. Still not optimistic about any direct effects on us here though...
So far all looks very localised. Some grey clouds over the Bay around Ben Bulben area in Sligo. But seems to be missing SWDonegal and indeed we may hold dry.
I would love a good blast of a thunderstorm tonight....
What little thunder I'm hearing sounds like a nuclear explosion from deep under the ocean. Not very loud but unnervingly boomy.
East Cork with constant rumbling and breeze just picked up with the rain.
Wind picked up considerably in Kanturk North Cork, few rumbles of thunder still but not much lightning
Amazing looking clouds in cork city
Posting for posterity.
