    Sferic showing up now around south Wicklow/north Wexford.

    Fairly sharp looking shower/cell developing over north Dublin now.

    That shower has just arrived in Inchicore. Huge amount of rotation above and just to my west and northwest. As it approached, wind picked up suddenly and began blowing towards the oncoming shower. Very obvious rotation to be seen too. I'd say there'll be sparks any minute

    Seen that too! Tried recording it but phone didnt couldn't zoom. Reason why the cells are so slow moving ... still quite heavy here .

    I believe the showers just off the east coast were enhanced by a sea breeze convergence zone, amazing the pure blue skies just off the coast earlier
