Booterstown, we have liftoff. And by that I mean thunder and lightning.

Hootanany · 18-07-2014 05:54AM

Low rumblings in Smithfield plenty of rain.:mad::mad:

delw · 18-07-2014 05:55AM

Rain, thats it

not even that heavy

Larbre34 · 18-07-2014 05:56AM

Likewise in D15, heavy rain for last 10 mins but no direct t&l

Supercell · 18-07-2014 05:57AM

Rainfall rates are a bit disappointing for a thunderstorm here, highest rate so far was 57mm/hr, far short of a record last December of 87mm/hr, thunder rates are one every 5 mins or so, seems like this is a pretty weak affair at this stage.

avnol · 18-07-2014 05:57AM

Likewise in glasnevin but getting very dark

First drops of rain in Balbriggan. Seems to be coming directly from the east.I am very close to the coast

Supercell · 18-07-2014 06:00AM

Skies brightening up, back to bed, shows over for here already.

leahyl · 18-07-2014 06:02AM

Did ANYTHINH happens in Cork City? I slept through if it did :-(

NSAman · 18-07-2014 06:02AM

Meh, call this a storm???

Calibos · 18-07-2014 06:03AM

Rain died off in Bray. Thunder more infrequent and distant. The storm lost energy after Wicklow Town. One could see that from the Raintoday colour coding and confirmed now that its actually passed Bray.

I'm sure it was very impressive from Wexford to Arklow to Wicklow, especially in Wexford when it passed during night time.

Here in Bray though and during daylight hours?

Not a patch on T&L storms here in the last 5 years never mind the biggie in '85. Ditto for the rain. Even at greatest intensity it was nothing like Oct 2011.

Hate to say it but tbh, my sleep deprivation I'll suffer today wont have been worth it in hindsight.

I don't think it's quite over yet...look out for that 'finger' of ppn coming out of north Wales extending SW into the Irish Sea...it's producing quite a lot of sferics and moving NW.

Pretty quiet here now. Light rain. 7.6mm so far this morning.

Lots of thunder & lightning in Greystones, nothing as severe as the reports from Arklow though.

Larbre34 · 18-07-2014 06:06AM

Daily forecast just out from MT

PukkaStukka · 18-07-2014 06:11AM

Near Swords in North Dublin. A few bursts of heavy rain but no thunder at all. Massive massive disappointment

Calibos · 18-07-2014 06:12AM

Well thats it for me. Night Night all. Im off to me leaba for 40 winks

NSAman · 18-07-2014 06:15AM

Seen more flashes from the Grannies nightie with static electricity... sheezzz

DOCARCH · 18-07-2014 06:15AM

After a quiet spell, a couple more rumbles of thunder in the last few minutes.

Larbre34 · 18-07-2014 06:16AM

Yeah fairly well a bust here, D15

KingdomRushed · 18-07-2014 06:16AM

40 minutes of heavy rain and one noticeable lightning strike. The remnants of what moved out of the Bay of Biscay yesterday were quite pathetic looking by the time they hit Dublin anyway.

delw · 18-07-2014 06:18AM

intensity seemed to die out as it hit Dublin,a well

pad199207 · 18-07-2014 06:18AM

Literally stuck my head out the window and a big flash to my east

pad199207 · 18-07-2014 06:19AM

Big rumble now again

Rock Lesnar · 18-07-2014 06:19AM

Judging by the last few posts anyway, when this gets to me, it'll be more like drizzle instead of storm, could do with some rain here as the grass is withering away

Ogie84 · 18-07-2014 06:23AM

Great nights sleep for me, just a few miles to the north of Cork City. I think all the action was much further west, the roads were barely wet at 6am.
