    The movement of the showers is strange on met.ie radar. I guess because of the position of the 'storm' some of them seem to stall and rotate.
    I was caught in one a while ago in Galway city with big hail mixed in and it didn't seem to be moving in any direction. It also lasted about 40 minutes.

    An isolated strike around the Dublin area in the last while:

    The risk continues tonight and more esp into tomorrow as a cool and unstable east to northeast becomes established bringing showers to eastern coastal areas.

    it's a little bit busy today: http://sproule.co.uk/weather/svlightning.html

    What do ye think?

    Rapidly deepening Atlantic storm will push an occluding frontal system across the British Isles overnight and through Wednesday. Strong ascent across northern parts of Ireland and N Ireland could lead to deeper convection here, with a risk of thunder. Wind gusts of 50-65mph possible, along with isolated tornadoes!! :)

    Am I bovered?


  • Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 18,283 Mod ✭✭✭✭DOCARCH


    Met E forecasting chance of thunder today and tomorrow. :)

    Today: Cool and showery today. Good sunny spells this morning but some heavy showers as well. Widespread showers this afternoon and evening with some thundery downpours and local spot flooding. A cool day with patchy frost at first and highest temperatures only 6 to 9 degrees.

    Tomorrow: The frost and fog will clear early on Sunday morning and most places will have a dry day with sunny spells but some thundery showers may develop locally. Rather cool with highest temperatures only 4 to 8 degrees Celsius in light breezes.

    Tuesday, mixed signals on different models, some chance of convective showers and gusty winds with late-arriving cold front.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,279 ✭✭✭Su Campu


    ESTOFEX have thunderstorms for the western half of the country today.

    Alway the west!:D

    There have been some right crackers of Cbs off the west coast this afternoon, showing some lovely anvils on satellite. They are now encroaching eastwards, and Mace Head is reporting a heavy shower at 1800. They could cause a few flashes later this evening along the coast.

    Few strikes on my detector too...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,467 ✭✭✭jimmynokia


    so there is lightning about?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,913 ✭✭✭Danno


    All of it off-shore. Unlikely to make landfall either. You can see the animation of the showers on www.sat24.com/gb


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,991 ✭✭✭Storm 10


    What about the shower approaching Galway at present anything likely from it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,710 ✭✭✭weisses


    about 10 good deep rumbles and some forked lightning to our north (15km)

    not really active but nice to watch :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,279 ✭✭✭Su Campu


    It looks impressive on the radar, a proper linear structure is forming and could give more areas an interesting night...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 671 ✭✭✭skipz


    I see the Isle of a Man is getting a good few sparks today.

    Met Eireann have increasing risk of thunderstorms today. Nothing on Estofex or meteoalarm though?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,279 ✭✭✭Su Campu


    Met Éireann's aviation chart for 18Z shows the wrapped-around occlusion curving from Belmullet-Athlone-Cork, moving northeastwards at 20kts. For the west and south of the country, moderate rain and showers, with isolated embedded heavy rain and thunderstorms. For the north and east, light to moderate showers. Freezing level around 5,000ft.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,205 ✭✭✭eskimocat


    There must have been thunder and lighting near by Colooney today. Lights flickering occasionally this evening and noticed the street lights going on on a number of occasion. The air pressure felt very heavy (tend to get headaches and tired when weather like this), some rain accompanied the heavy clouds. Dark is not so much creeeping in as sprinting!

    Found this old newspaper clipping from the Tuam Hearld archive detailing the horrible consequence of a thunderstorm that struck Mayo on the 17th April 1871. I have to say I was amazed at the actual vivid description of the grim detail which I suppose was of the times:

    135288.jpg



    In normal text form as it is quite as the above clip is not the easiest to read:

    AWFUL OCCURRENCE IN MAYO-THE DEAD SWEPT FROM A GRAVEYARD INTO THE SEA!!
    A correspondent of our worthy contemporary, the Mayo Telegraph, thus writes: - On Monday (17th inst..,) a shocking spectacle was presented in the ancient burial-ground of Glosh-Patrick, between Westport and Louisburgh. There was a thunderstorm, accompanied by hail and heavy rains, which lasted about two hours, during which some corpses, which had been buried for some time, were washed out there graves into the sea by the torrent of the mountain stream which runs beside the graveyard.
    Some of the bodies were carried out to sea, and only two were recovered and re-interred amid the wailing of the surviving relatives, whose feelings were severely harrowed by the sight of their dead exhumed in a manner so heartrending. They had been buried only a month or so.
    The bridge on the high road over the stream is also washed away. The neglected state of our country burial-grounds is disgraceful in a Christian land, and the attention of the various Boards of Guardians is now called for to guard, by proper measures against a recurrence of so revolting an accident as that just detailed. Even now there are many coffins visible, and those of the two bodies which were recovered from the sea were broken into pieces.

    There was some nice bolts of Lightening and loud Thunder in Castlebar around 1730 this evening along with Hail and strong winds.
