The thunder was loud enough here at times. Overall, during the last hour or so, it hasn't been too much to write home about, unfortunately.

Rock Lesnar · 18-07-2014 06:35AM

Rain has started here now in north meath, no thunder and no lightening

Storm 10 · 18-07-2014 06:39AM

Arklow got a lot of rain. Terrestial at times.

JanuarySnowstor · 18-07-2014 06:45AM

Total non event in Cork
Egg on face for me warning everyone.

The models just dont call the weather right quite a bit

PukkaStukka · 18-07-2014 06:48AM

Looks like an electrified pulse of rain coming in off the Irish Sea heading for the greater Dublin area. This might be the last chance to salvage something for the foreseeable...

Terrestrial rain? What's that, is it worse than torrential rain? :-)

Ballybrack , killiney got loads, thanks for the info

Penname · 18-07-2014 06:50AM

Very disappointing. It had the hallmarks of being epic. Think I need to move to Arklow. Oh well, did get to see a flash and hear a couple of nice rumbles.

Humour Me · 18-07-2014 06:52AM

Hailstone now falling with the rain in Dublin city centre. Pretty loud on the top deck of the bus.

PukkaStukka · 18-07-2014 06:54AM

Distant thunder here in Swords. Sky quite dark

Video · 18-07-2014 06:55AM

Every time in try to close my eyes im hearing distant rumbles, probably just imagining it tho

Dero123 · 18-07-2014 06:55AM

Will there be more of this later in the day due to play golf at 11 in carlow

Rock Lesnar · 18-07-2014 06:56AM

According to met eireann and raintoday, it should be bucketing down, there is nothing, we had a 5min shower and now the skies are brightening up

FunkSoulSista · 18-07-2014 07:00AM

degrassinoel · 18-07-2014 07:00AM

heard it in D5 too, ten count after the flash, probably out your way?

phenomenalcat · 18-07-2014 07:05AM

Flash and rumble at trinity college there 5 mins ago

PukkaStukka · 18-07-2014 07:06AM

Massive flash and bang here just now. Aircraft departing Dublin airport are turning sharp left and heading NE to avoid the storm

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.

As usual the city city shield was penetrated jut the once last night

Strangegravy · 18-07-2014 07:15AM

Looking at the lightning radar, the Cork Snow Shield has upgraded it's defences for lightning now as well. Two distinct paths.

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

See my other post, we got one nice bang just after you went to bed and just maybe one more, the track shows the division of the action quite well.

Thunder and lightning in North Dublin

There wasn’t anything really promised for Galway City

Heroditas · 18-07-2014 07:20AM

Well that was a bit of an anticlimax.
A bit of thunder and lightning in Lucan and some torrential rain but that's about it.
Funniest bit was my just-turned-2 daughter turning to me after the loudest clap of thunder and saying "HEAVY rain, Daddy".
Not bothered by it in the slightest.

Greenmachine · 18-07-2014 07:24AM

A few bursts of heavy rain in Marino, with the odd flash of lighting and rumble of thunder.
