Spot on Tristrame, just heard the first distant rumble of thunder, rain rate increasing slowly now at 4.6mm/hr and rising.

Have set my site to update at 5 mins intervals at least until (hopefully) I have to turn off the pc and jump up and down in excitement

ninebeanrows · 19-06-2007 06:17PM

Bit of a squall line kind of forming on the latest radar with a very abrupt end to the torrential rain..

Could infact intensify as it moves northwards..

Interesting is the word, take care all.

Supercell · 19-06-2007 06:17PM

Rain rate now 12.4 and increasing...come to papa!!

rc28 · 19-06-2007 06:19PM

Just went outside and wow does it feel like the cliche of a storm coming!- really very windy and some lovely dark skies to my east. What direction are the showers moving? The wind apears to be blowing directly from the east here?

rc28 · 19-06-2007 06:19PM

On snowbies detector, what do all the small red dots mean?

Supercell · 19-06-2007 06:20PM

Its raining cats and dogs!! 17mm/hr and lightening spotted...whoohhoo!!

homosapien · 19-06-2007 06:21PM

There is a strange calm here after very intense rainfall earlier..first time I have heard the birds chirping in quite a few hours!! it looks like that "clump" is hitting Dublin area now, coming in off the Irish Sea..Wicklow and Dublin may see a lot more rain...and fireworks.. before night descends..

rc28 · 19-06-2007 06:24PM

Some proper heavy rain falling here now with big drops. But there's nothing on the radar over me?

ninebeanrows · 19-06-2007 06:24PM

Yes up here we seem to have gotten a pre-splash with the intense and electrified activity along a line moving into Wicklow, South Dublin now.

phantom rain RC??

Trogdor · 19-06-2007 06:28PM

Heavier bouts of rain now and i think i may have just heard a low rumble to the West but that could have just as easily been the dart:rolleyes:

There past strikes the brighter the dot(yellow to red) means a strike fading in time.

The mountains sponge the signal coming from the south,out of my hands.It will take a severe enough storm say over wicklow/wexford for it to appear on my display,it will not detect the weaker signals,any other direction is no problem.

rc28 · 19-06-2007 06:30PM

Lol, well the phantom rain just got heavier and is at times verging on a downpour but I would still call it very very heavy but those drops are huge-almost sounds like soft hail hitting the velux.

Massive flash and long drawn out rumbling to my west.....yay:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Supercell · 19-06-2007 06:32PM

Up to 50mm/hr at times here now and plenty of thunder rumbles , not overhead here though. Maybe Mothman or Artictree getting the really heavy stuff?

Is very dark outside now, more like 11pm at this time of year then 7:30.

Fun stuff.

19-06-2007 06:36PM

rain rate still 20.6mm/h

massive flood outside.

18mm rain since about 6pm and rising

Powercuts all over the shop down here.
Ours went out and came back, my brother 2 miles over the road has none.

No thunder here for the last 20 mins or so.

Snowbie · 19-06-2007 06:36PM

Moderate rain not heavy yet.6.6mm/hr.No rumbles no flashes nada.

Trogdor · 19-06-2007 06:37PM

seems to have been just the one flash here. Rain rate up to 9.9mm/hr.

Hal1 · 19-06-2007 06:38PM

Listening to the forecast on the drive home, could swear they mentioned thundery downpours

, my firefox wiget is showing a lightining bolt for tomorrow.

19-06-2007 06:38PM

Supercell · 19-06-2007 06:40PM

Absolutely pissing steadily now, averaging around 30-40mm/hr with bursts much heavier.
Rivers of water outside, glad I live in a hilly area, going to be floods tonight for sure in some places.

Yep, looks like it may be even heavier closer to the coast, are you still getting battered?

SpitfireIV · 19-06-2007 06:45PM

Thundery downpour here in Carlow town :eek: I was in the shed under a galvanised roof, so couldnt tell if there were rumbles of thunder.
