Some very beefy showers around the country. Hail and thunder fairly commonplace in many inland areas this afternoon, with the fairly strong sunshine and cold uppers combined with other parameters leading to fairly intense convective showers.
Heavy hail near Granard, County Longford:
Heavy shower, possibly hail in the mix near Mullingar, county Westmeath:

Upper low with its associated cold pool moving in over Ireland tomorrow with a fair amount of shear available, meagre surface temperatures and probably a messy profile giving just ok lapse rates but maybe enough to give a few thunderstorms. Should have some hail showers and some locally heavy convective showers. A few funnels perhaps.
Best chance of a thunderstorm in the Western half of the country but possibly quite sporadic and isolated at that.

They are massive storms heading towards the UK atm, some severe storms heading onto the coasts, set to be very heavy over Southern half of the UK tonight into tomorrow with a lot of thunderstorm activity, will see if the some activity crosses over to Ireland, don't expect too much but you would never know, very little shear or CAPE over Ireland tomorrow but a few might carry across the sea.

Looks to have been a strike, possibly multiple strikes, over north county Dublin. Would not explain a crack of thunder in D12 (I'd expect a rumble that far away) but perhaps there's been a strike there that was not picked up by the lightning detectors.
