    It's raining REALLY heavy out, kind of surreal. A few minutes ago we had some thunder and I think a flash of lightning.
    (I'm in Dublin 2 just off Stephens Green.)

    The power went off for a second, all the lights flickered and some went off completely....scared the sh!t out of me :eek:

    How is it where you are? wherever that may be. :)

    I'm in Cabinteely and it's dry and sunny, but there are a lot of grey clouds out there so I'd say we'll have the same as you very shortly.

    Im in Dun Laoghaire, seems like a nice day out (well it would any other summer). This is the crazyist weather ever. Sure even look at the floods in England. In July!!

    That's odd, I'm just off Stephen's Green, and I heard no thunder and saw no lightning.

    Pretty heavy rain though...

    Am in Dub 2 myself. It was really weird. I've taken to bringing my umbrella AND my sunglasses out with me at all times. U never know what it's gonna be like.

    It was hazy this morning and looked as if it would burn off to sunshine.
    A lot of dark cloud, some blue sky.
    No thunder, lightning or rain as yet.

    Thunder and lightning during the summer is not freaky.

    Can we create a weather sticky in AH for the duration of these freakyass conditions?

    It'd be better than having 2-3 threads everyday saying 'OMFG its raining!' :o

    I was actually using both at the same time over the weekend. Was raining but sun was fairly bright. Really felt weird.

    Nobody here cares about Galway.
    I thought you would have got that by now, going by the amount of Dublin threads here. :D

    Anyway, rain forllowed by sun followed by rain.
    Repeat ad infinitum.
