Thunderstorms 14th/15th August 2022

Way cooler countrywide this morning with temperatures in the teens......quite the change from recent times, however with humidity above 90% in many places, it's humidity that is leading many us to believe that it's warmer than it actually is.

Back to the lightning storms that we want to lighten the skies, there looks to be something trying to get its act together in an area roughly from Thurles to Kilkenny.

Looked out the window there in West cork, clouds moving from north to south, but radar shows rain coming from South to North? Interesting

Does anyone remember this day of lightning in 2003 at all?

Never hear anyone mentioning it but I can vividly remember it being dark nearly all day and near constant thunder and lightning for hours on end. Was spectacular

A letdown alright. It would feel alot worse if we missed out on snow though .

The event is still on-going. Satellite and radar suggests that convection is initialising in Meath now. Something developing just south of Drogheda and also between Ashbourne and Balbriggan. And possibly a cell developing and moving over the Meath border from Maynooth. The cell between Drogheda and Julianstown may get sparky shortly.

Another little cell has just popped up over Delvin in Westmeath, near the border with Meath. The way things are going, Meath will be the hotspot for storms @Gonzo 🤣

In the gym here in D18 and it is swealtering! Cloudy here atm but it’s hot and sticky! Hopefully we get something!

Could be wrong but I only think it will be the Eastern part of munster that will get storms today, the cooler air will win out to soon today for the rest of the country, meath might miss out again

So it looks like CORKS turn from about 2pm. Up to now its been nought or at best distant rumbles, flashes last night mainly from the east. Around city not much so far and not much rain either

Yip same here in Carrigaline .. especially inside. Already Missing the sun like we had last few days though and all that goes with it, even looking out knowing its there in a reliable as it gets for Ireland last few days :D
