    Weird stuff going on in the air - you'd think it was flat calm outside but hyperlapse video shows different...

    Looking at the radar and lightning maps, that's a proper storm over W. Meath atm

    save the trouble and jazz it up


    Hoping for some good Thundery Showers :p

    Lightningmaps showing lots of strikes nearby here (North Kildare) but don't see any lightning and certainly no thunder.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,323 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    On the drive home from work there was some seriously impressive looking cloud formations about the place.

    Hopefully some of it results in lightning around Athlone later on

    Thunder in Ardee Co Louth, very dark sky. Haven’t seen any lightning yet.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,410 ✭✭✭KildareP


    Now looking straight into the cloud that should be absolute lit up over Edenderry according to Lightningmaps but not so much as a flicker or a rumble out of it. Is it possible the thunderstorm activity is so high up to be above cloud cover and inaudible?

    -edit- speak of the devil, there's some now. Long low rumbles

    Long old grumbles here on East Coast Meath, not loud just long. Has just started bucketing down. No flashes to be seen yet.

    Was up in the homeplace today, seneschalstown in meath, we got absolutely lashed out of it, never seen rain like it, roads are flooded in places, long rumbles of thunder, lots of lightening


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,323 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    Great storm here in Athlone. Torrential rain and frequent thunder and lightning.

    Not able to get any videos cause the kids are scared and I need to distract them lok

    Its a lightning storm. It does what it wants


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,832 ✭✭✭NufcNavan


    Thunder and lightning the past hour or so in Meath. Haven't seen showers like it in a long time. Bound to be some flooding on the roads.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32 Swellan


    Massive downpour in Cavan town with a few rumbles of thunder and lightning. Getting heavier by the minute


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,410 ✭✭✭KildareP


    Really weird evening out here.

    Clouds are haring past at the moment and alternates very quickly from bright to very dark.

    Very little rain though and no lightning/thunder activity despite Lightningmaps saying there was nearby.

    There's a whole band dividing the north and south of the country that seems to be active and with heavyvrain according to met.ie though.

    Almost tempted to drive towards Westmeath to get in on the action up in Athlone! :-)

    Just arrived in Galway, drove from Kilbeggan and it was pretty much a storm for the whole journey, great lightning strikes, torrential rain, wow. Unfortunately there was a crash near Loughrea. Still rumbling away here. Buzzing.

    I had my son on camera duty so I will check later.

    After getting wet and windy here near Tralee this evening. Wonder if the trough moving in over Kerry could get a lift over the land and become unstable enough to produce some sparks.

    EDIT: looking through the charts probably no more lightning here in Kerry today.
