    Cloudtops are cooling by >10 °C / hour. Bodes well for the next few hours.

    Hi all,

    first I am 5 miles east of Thurles, have I better chance of thunder here or in Tramore co. wateford?
    second what do you guys think the best android app is for keeping tabs on the lightning stikes?

    Storm up in Ulster producing some sferics now. So far everything south of the border has struggled to get going.
    North and northeast should be the best places for development over the next few hours.
