    Incredibly muggy out there. Reminds me of holidays in France.

    Might scrape a few sparks tomorrow morning but not expecting much tbh. Waterford coastline/Youghal is the spot to be tonight. Maybe an odd heavy shower up this way towards morning.

    Few days out so take with pinch of salt as could change, cape showing good potential for the west on Tuesday and central counties, eastern counties and northern parts too on Friday. Could see some moderate thunderstorm activity if things go as projected. Certainly an interesting week ahead.

    I take it Tramore, Co. Waterford might see some action tonight ?

    Sky at the moment is strange, can't really describe it, but its very humid here at the moment, still a lovely 17 degrees.

    Just above 19 degrees here and its nearly 10pm which is unusual, assuming it has to do with the storm. Expecting a few stray sparks in here in the city

    Keep an eye to Netweather radar. Should see some action later tonight.

    Yeah looking at it alright, seems to be a good bit of activity off the coast, but sticking there at the moment. Hopefully it will move in as the night goes on.

    Small chance that those in eg Tramore/Hook Head who have a clear sky out to sea may just be able to see the tops of clouds light up out to sea.

    For those of us in the east keep an eye on Cardigan Bay

    That cluster of developing instability in Cardigan Bay could get interesting for the east coast in the next few hours as well.

    Cork Airport reporting wind direction from the north while the storm is moving from the south. Opposing wind directions with warm/cooler airmasses is ripe for thunderstorm activity right?
