I suppose it’s the comparison to just across the water, which is wrong I guess considering the climate can be very different at times.

Flash of lightning in South Tipp.

spookwoman · 05-09-2022 04:20PM

Watching the one coming up towards the wexford coast

Rikand · 05-09-2022 04:48PM

That cell over tipp is bubbling up nicely on the satellite

Wexford too

The amount of lightning off the South Coast of the UK is insane

Chris_5339762 · 05-09-2022 06:07PM

Yeah they have an insane amount.

But here in Ireland its just simply too cold for decent convective thunderstorms. It's 17c out in Cork.

Aw stop i know the best thunderstorm was last month for me 14th and 15th and of course my power had to go as well

Rikand · 05-09-2022 06:38PM

Couple of nice squalls blowing through but no tornados.

Was looking west towards galway from athlone and anvil wouldn't be the right word to describe the upper cloud level. More like nuclear mushroom cloud. Looked savage

It's not too dissimilar in SW England, where those storms are bearing down at, with temperatures generally around 16° - 19°

Yup but youd never see that approaching the south coast of ireland and moving up the country,staying intact. it would die a death and fizzle out,but for some unknown reason.

Oneiric 3 · 05-09-2022 07:21PM

Some of the most punchy storms I have witnessed occurred in winter, when temps are far lower than the are now, and they usually come in of the sea as well.

I think if the winds had been a lot slacker today that storms would have had greater potential to break out across the country.

highdef · 05-09-2022 07:21PM

For anyone using Met Eireann for tracking the rain, I see that a radar site went down after 18:50. Coverage in the south east and east is inaccurate at the moment as a result. I cross checked with Netweather radar (which is not that great in many parts of the country) and it confirms it. There looks to be some hefty cells moving north through Wicklow and up the Irish Sea at the moment, which appear like not much on the Met Eireann site.

Storm 10 · 05-09-2022 07:35PM

Check out webcam at Cardiff Yacht Club storm seems to be starting there

Kermit.de.frog · 05-09-2022 07:43PM

Very close to sparking along the Wicklow coast. Some intense echoes.

sparrowcar · 05-09-2022 08:19PM

The weather gods hate us Dubliners 🤷‍♂️

Kermit.de.frog · 05-09-2022 08:55PM

Very active cell arriving on the south coast of England near Portsmouth shortly. Live webcam.

Lightning strikes off the south Wexford coast.

Nabber · 06-09-2022 01:39PM

Some deluge here in Dublin City Centre.

DOCARCH · 06-09-2022 02:42PM

Lighting in the south Irish Sea/off the Welsh coast.

Torrential/tropical rain shower now in Greystones with a rain rate 134.0mm/hr!

highdef · 06-09-2022 04:45PM

Some potent little cells popping up in the north Midlands. Don't be surprised if there are some sparks from some of them soon.

Storm 10 · 06-09-2022 05:25PM

Thunder and lightning near Roscommon town

Meteorite58 · 06-09-2022 09:07PM

Widespread heavy convective showers tomorrow as the Lp moves in over the South of the country. Might be a messy profile and CAPE fairly skinny but thunderstorm potential greater than today. Subtle converging winds up through the atmosphere and later interest along Atlantic coastal counties with converging surface winds giving some instability interest under colder air aloft. DP's higher tomorrow too as modest diurnal heating peaks in the afternoon. Potential for some heavy local rainfall totals and Southern counties again showing up as having the highest totals, might have yellow warning extended. One of those days that if thunderstorms break out more widespread then on the spot warnings might be issued for much of the country perhaps. Been very difficult getting anywhere near an accurate forecast recently, maybe the slower moving systems given a longer chance to mature might increase chances tomorrow.

Never give up trying to figure it out always learning to be got from every potential set up!😁

Thunderstorms might increase off the South of the country overnight into the early morning drifting close to the coast.

JanuarySnowstor · 06-09-2022 10:39PM

For the amount of thunder warnings issued recently the reality is very few places even got a rumble. These warnings are a bit of a nonsense, if this was the 80s or 90s we would just be told there would be heavy showers with a risk of thundery downpours. And that would have hit the forecast right on the button! There's an overuse of these warnings in Ireland that doesn't seem to happen across the water!

I do however agree with Meteroite that tomorrow has better chances as the low moves in over the country. It would be ironic if we get no thunder warning tomorrow and the weather kicks off!!

spookwoman · 07-09-2022 12:44AM

Some activity off the wexford coast a little while ago

Absolutely agree with the overuse of Yellow "warnings". No need for them at all.

Storm 10 · 07-09-2022 02:15PM

Mad showers in Galway flooding the roads in seconds no sparks

highdef · 07-09-2022 02:41PM

Over 50 strikes so far from the storm in the Clones direction......would be good if we had any posters based there for reports.

Another storm near Athboy and I would not be surprised if the shower developing over Trim gets sparky.

squarecircles · 07-09-2022 03:05PM

AND...shannon radar goes down.

Oscar Bravo · 07-09-2022 03:24PM
