A new thread for Spring as there is a chance a few thunderstorms today and tomorrow.
Thunder in Waterford
Heard a rumble in Dublin 4, belting rain.
Tornado/funnel cloud? The view from Dún Laoghaire looking north two minutes ago.
If it's looking north from your location, it's probably the incinerator plant in the Ringsend area of east Dublin.
My brother sent to me. And you are porb right, @highdef Thanks
A rash of recent strikes through Kildare, Wicklow and Wexford.
Strong flashes of lightning in Kildare and the power went for a bit
There's no hook echoes on that so I don't think it is a funnel
Near constant thunder & lightning here in South Kildare for the last 30 minutes or so, very few strikes being picked up on blitzortung.org though.
Met Eireann's Status Yellow warning for thunder has been reduced to 4 counties
Kildare, Wicklow and Carlow until 1800 and Wexford until 1900.
Warinings for north eastern Leinster counties have been cancelled.
A few funnels spotted today in UK, maybe that was 1 in Dublin earlier
Seen that, some great examples and a good video below of a possible weak tornado.
This house in Blessington took some wallop. Probably between 14.15 and 14.50
Sferics not detected in Lacken but some strong positive cloud to ground picked up at the other side of Blessington, a few CG's in a small area actually, where the strikes show up o the maps is not always accurate but would be fairly close maybe within a couple of hundred meters I think. Very possible strike just not detected, high percentage not picked up.
Oh wow that's crazy, and yes mad the amount of funnel clouds where spotted in UK over the last 3 days
Record of the sferics recorded on the ATD last Thursday. Noted from others posting that a lot of sferics didnt show up on the lightning maps possibly because there was a lot of inter cloud or cloud to air lightning.
Is their a summer thread
Yup
Thank you
