Near Roscrea N Tipp

Looks like some activity around cork kerry

Some parameters there for big convective clouds producing heavy rain and some a bit blustery, not overly conducive for thunderstorms but a few isolated ones might break out especially along Atlantic coasts, maybe a few inland too.

I recorded over 30mm there one day last week and there was no warning by Met Eireann as far as I can recall. And the streets are flooded here after a recent downpour and there was no warning for that either. But sure, tis only the wesht.

And I'm not really complaining that much, but these warnings they put out often are warnings that I just can't take seriously anymore.

There was unreal rain in Galway from a string of showers roads flooded and I never saw leaves being stripped of trees such was the rain and as you said not a mention from ME

Sferics along the Kerry coast now

Meteorite58 · 29-10-2022 11:22PM

Out on Kerry head, very distant lightning flashes maybe 30=40kms away at this stage.

SleetAndSnow · 30-10-2022 12:37AM

Three lightning flashes directly over me in West cork, netweather shows a small but fiery cell over us. Not picking up the lightning though

Possibly something heading towards waterford wexford coast

DOCARCH · 31-10-2022 01:03PM

A couple of recent sparks in Co. Waterford.

Meteorite58 · 01-11-2022 12:20PM

Thunder here in Tralee, very heavy showers knocking the temp down to 9.6C.

Near Waterford firing away.

And it has passed over. very intense that was .. even less wind now.

JCX BXC · 02-11-2022 01:03PM

Big flash in Galway, left me perplexed for a few seconds until I heard the big boom of Thunder after it. Strange to notice such a flash indoors during daylight?

Strange to see that flash as the Sun was breaking through the thunder was very loud shook the window

redsteveireland · 02-11-2022 01:09PM

Big flash and long rumble in Athenry right now.

DOCARCH · 02-11-2022 01:55PM

Lots of lightning now off the east coast from squall that just passed through.

redsteveireland · 02-11-2022 02:45PM

Thunder again in Athenry, sun is shining brightly so makes seeing lightning a bit of a challenge.

spookwoman · 02-11-2022 03:06PM

wrong thread

Storm 10 · 02-11-2022 05:49PM

Anvil heads over Galway few minutes ago trees down in the County and according to Galway City Council traffic lights out due lightning strike

I see carlow weather has a few posts up in Twitter about a tornado in Wexford earlier today. Unfortunately no one seems to have gotten any video of it but it looks to have been quite strong going by how much damage was done to the trees.

I lost power here in athenry earlier today which was surprising for a yellow warning.

Meteorite58 · 05-11-2022 05:46PM

Advancing upper trough and colder air aloft spreading over Ireland giving rise to convective heavy showers and the potential for some thunderstorms, more so around the coasts over water with the SST's aiding instability, will see if some move inland a bit, maybe not much happening away from coastal areas, will try to get a camera out later if something sparks up near the coast.. Getting quite breezy as well, some of the heavy Convective showers could produce hail and be gusty locally, different system moves in over Ireland from the SW later Sunday bringing the temperatures up a bit again.
