acassells80 · 07-06-2014 8:52am

Is this cell over Wales headed for the east coast?

Hal1 · 07-06-2014 8:57am

All that rain is part of a low pressure system passing over us now. These systems move in an anti clockwise rotation. It can be seen more clearly on the rain radar on met.ie or sat24.

maquiladora · 07-06-2014 10:03am

If things do kick off here then it should start in the southwest in a couple of hours.

dexter647 · 07-06-2014 10:05am

Hopefully the sun comes out to play and helps things along

Red Nissan · 07-06-2014 10:56am

Cape, some of the highest values I've seen locally [Cork] until about 18:00hrs today. But not much to take advantage of that.

A beauty developing off the south west tip, looks quite violent and rapidly moving almost one big red blob.

maquiladora · 07-06-2014 11:58am

Plenty of active cells now at sea to our south.

Edit : Dying out a bit now.

mickmackey1 · 07-06-2014 1:06pm

Big difference in a small country

highdef · 07-06-2014 1:36pm

Torrential shower falling here at the moment. Massive drops. Extremely localised though as the sun is fully out and shining. Blue skies almost overhead but can also see massive fast building CBs all around through the sheets of rain falling from the sky.

highdef · 07-06-2014 1:48pm

The torrential that just passed to my north just produced 2 rumbles of thunder

redsteveireland · 07-06-2014 2:49pm

One rumble and a nice heavy shower here in Galway, and I love 'that' smell!

maquiladora · 07-06-2014 3:08pm

Looking like it's kicked off in a few different areas now.

Storm 10 · 07-06-2014 3:28pm

Aran Islands look to be getting a nice storm

MrFrisp · 07-06-2014 4:02pm

3 big drops of rain here earlier.:D

Looks like summer down here.

No rain for the day as of yet.

I think I heard a rumble a minute ago in Roscommon, not too sure

monster1 · 07-06-2014 4:34pm

yup, definitely thunder

force eleven · 07-06-2014 4:34pm

Few distant rumbles near Moate.

Oscar Bravo · 07-06-2014 4:35pm

Thunder west of castlebar. Showers developing rapidly

One problem with it is there are only a couple of stations in Ireland so a lot of the strikes here aren't picked up on that map.

The Met Office ATD system shows a more accurate picture. ATD is used on Sat24, Netweather etc.

OldRio · 07-06-2014 4:56pm

Thunder in South Leitrim. Getting very dark. And now the rain.

sunbabe08 · 07-06-2014 4:58pm

I'm growing to dislike Galway very much these days. :-(

Xenji · 07-06-2014 5:03pm

Getting very dark in Castlebar and can now hear the thunder in the distance.

EDIT - Right over us now, nice rumble there.

Oscar Bravo · 07-06-2014 5:08pm

Lightning show-Castlebar

Dollseyes · 07-06-2014 5:10pm

Sun splitting the rocks in Ballina. So warm outside.

jdee99 · 07-06-2014 6:05pm

thunder in Ballyhaunis now

squarecircles · 07-06-2014 6:05pm

intense thunderstorm passed over louisburgh about an hour ago,fork lightning, rarely seen here.

eastmayo · 07-06-2014 6:05pm

Can hear thunder in the distance now near knock airport

R0C · 07-06-2014 6:10pm

Some of those most aggressive fork lightning I've ever seen in Ireland today around south Mayo just after 4.30pm onward. Cars pulled in (including me) in Kilmaine village due to constant forks making ground contact, followed by the heaviest showers imaginable.

I adore watching lightning, but this was too close and intimidating for my liking!

I'll be surprised if there wasn't damage done.

Red Nissan · 07-06-2014 6:40pm

Be gosh, impressive, keep em reports coming in.

ednwireland · 07-06-2014 6:42pm

thundering for about 10 mins near donegal town, light shower looks like main rain gone inland

Storm 10 · 07-06-2014 7:22pm

Guys all this lightning and no pictures posted yet, anyone get any shots today please post them.

pad199207 · 07-06-2014 7:25pm

If those storms were in The Greater Dublin Area this would be in Meltdown
