    I see it regularly for Galway, it's meaningless. When a thunderstorm does arrive it's often not there.

    Conditions are developing for thunderstorms to develop in central and eastern counties 0200-0500 with a brief interval of strong wind gusts as a meso-scale low forms after midnight and tracks across Dublin around 0300-0400. Confidence moderate, it could flare up quickly, over east Galway to n Tipps.

    A lot of convection embedded in the front moving close to Ireland, AROME and ECM showing thunderstorm potential mainly in the SW, W later tonight / early morning. Tongue of warm moist air moving towards Ireland with a lot of shear available later close the coasts and overland. Perhaps some forcing ahead of the front. Hail is even showing up on the prediction charts but it would take some convection to make that happen tonight.

    Staying mild into the early morning up to 17C with a DP of 16C.

    Will see if we get something.

    Just below recent Satellite pic from EUMETSAT showing areas of convection and cloud top temperatures.

    Conditions don't look conducive for thunderstorms overnight

    Currently being treated to tue mother of all thunderstorms in Skiathos in Greece, will try and get footage uploaded later if I get any good ones

    Awesome

    Here's a video I shot of a CG in Clearwater Florida back in July. Set the quality to 4K and zoom in to see it hitting the boat mast!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 662 ✭✭✭glightning


    And here's another video showing the epic CB cloud as it was approaching. Massive anvil!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 329 ✭✭The Macho Man


    Excellent sound on that video. What device did you capture it with? I took a fair amount of footage of the storms here over the last two days and was very disappointed with the sound quality.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 13,020 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Going through my phone and found this CG strike that my son captured early morning of the 12-08-24 at 0.21 approx.

    Is it not possible to delete comments? Don't know how my two above posted like that.

    Are the forecasted thunderstorms in the east and southeast,pardon the pun,a bolt out of the blue?

    No mention here

    They look imported and there does seem to be plenty heat energy ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 421 ✭✭Thunder87


    Think I just heard a rumble of thunder in North Dublin, the first time since June last year if so. Though I live near the airport flight path so could just have been a particularly loud plane!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,813 ✭✭✭Dazler97


    There could be some isolated thunderstorms this evening 🤔 let's see



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,605 ✭✭✭esposito


    Very dark skies in Dublin. Heavy shower/ thunderstorm incoming!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 147 ✭✭Needmoretea


    Thought I heard the same, and am also near a flight path :-) That was before a heavy shower just passed over us
