    Could some people watching all this fork lightning maybe take a few vids for the rest of us.
    All the action the past few days and nearly nothing to show from it.

    its been years since I've seen lightning and heard thunder in Dublin (yes years!) I can't even remember the last time! Apparently there was a big thunderstorm last July (at night too!) but I wasn't in Dublin that night so missed it.

    Looking exactly the same in South Mayo, sky approaching from the south [Galway].

    Could hear distant rumbles while outside earlier.

    The best thunder I ever saw in dublin was November 03 when we got mountain snow & lots of hail with lightning for 2-3 days straight.
    I think it was about 10 years ago now, November 2003 I would say. (Which is really years ago now!) It was a streamer setup from a cold north easterly, but it brought some amazing lightning & thunder & hail.

    I do think Galway gets alot more lightning than Dublin overall. Dublin gets more snow though!

    Amazing looking storm all right, probably more lightning in 60 seconds than I've seen in the past decade!

    Looking for live webcams in Bremen but no luck finding one that'll work on my phone

    That was a good one but there was no sound / thunder with it. Not that I ever heard, but great colours of blue purple etc.

    You missed out, I've never heard anything like it! one bang right over the house, everything white for a second & made every hair stand up. At least you got the colours, they were special

    That's a great link Harps. Funny how the german sensors never seem to pick up the Irish lightning very well. I suppose were too far away.
    That site is missing most of the irish strikes but the Icelandic site always detects the irish ones. I wonder what the difference is?

    Yeah slow moving nature of storms could bring big enough rainfall totals in a short period of time. Definitely something to watch.

    That's an impressive enough CAPE forecast for Ireland tomorrow afternoon. If the sun can get to work there could be a few nice cells.

    Check out the Belgium/Germany border near Liege. Incredible lightening storm. Strikes going off constantly.

    Looking at tomorrow, LI is up to -6 and CAPE up to ~1,300 J/kg so a good chance of thunderstorms breaking out as the Met Eireann warning shows. Of course nothing comparable to continental fireworks though. :p

    So frustrating, all thunderstorms have been just west and North of me. Alot of them are passing right over me before coming to life.
