Energy totally gone from that Dungarvan storm. Here in Waterford City we just had a heavy rain shower. We need the sun out again to get that instability going.

Thunder near Arklow

snowgal · 18-05-2021 3:37pm

yea just had mad hail thunder lightning shower in Navan 20 mins ago. The place went sooo dark just before! Blue skies and full sun now!

Oscar Bravo · 18-05-2021 3:40pm

Active storm just south of Kilkenny now

DOCARCH · 18-05-2021 3:42pm

Very tame so far here in Dublin 16 with just a sprinkle of rain. Hoping little developing cell near Maynooth has my name on it!

Gaoth Laidir · 18-05-2021 3:45pm

This morning's ECM had the thunderstorm coverage very accurate, as shown by the K-Index. In general, values of 20-25 imply isolated thunderstorms while 26-30 imply more widely scattered. Some peak values of 26 in there, roughly corresponding with where the lightning is.

18-05-2021 3:48pm

Quite active west of Arklow,can hear it and see it,suns out here but is it closing in?

Gamma Flash · 18-05-2021 3:48pm

That dungarvan one hardly anything of it showed up on BlitzortungLive or lightning alarm until CGs started coming down near us and then not all, noticed over last while that not as effective compared to last summer, luckily had abandoned work for the cars by time close ones hit &#55357;&#56876;⚡️

Been looking at that. I think it's more for us in D15 coming up the M4 corridor than for D16!

They are the detector locations and the lines show which detectors are picking up (and triangulating) the strike location.

Thanks. Just noticed that there's a button to display them which I must have unknowingly toggled 'on'

A lot of rumbling still west of Arklow
Suns out here SE wind feeding into the storm

Thunder just heard in North Kildare, from a cell southwest of Trim, Meath.

Gaoth Laidir · 18-05-2021 4:39pm

A nice crackle of thunder just to my south there now.

Trebor176 · 18-05-2021 4:46pm

Clap of thunder in Dublin 22 just there.

DOCARCH · 18-05-2021 4:47pm

I think I hear distant thunder to my west in Dublin 16. Very dark to my west and looks like that shower might go to the south of me.

Purple grey clouds to my north towards Thomastown/Knocktopher area.

amor3 · 18-05-2021 5:24pm

Think I heard a very distant rumble in D24.. just had torrential rain and hail, brightened up a bit, now going dark again!

pad199207 · 18-05-2021 5:26pm

Further thunder and torrential rain in Kildare now

Mental Mickey · 18-05-2021 5:29pm

Absolutely chucking it down in Naas. Hailstones

I think Naas has to be the thunder capital of Ireland!

Just some light rain in Dublin 16 atm. Thought I heard another distant rumble.

jackrussel · 18-05-2021 5:32pm

Big rumble there to the south of cork city

Larbre34 · 18-05-2021 5:37pm

Thunder and lightning at Dunboyne, precip increasing in intensity now.

Same, am I being too optimistic in seeing the maynooth and Naas cells combining on the radar?

SleetAndSnow · 18-05-2021 5:39pm

Thunder in the last 5 minutes in cork city, small rumbles with one big rumble.

pad199207 · 18-05-2021 5:40pm

Pretty decent sized hail falling now

Storm 10 · 18-05-2021 5:42pm

Pics and video lads

18-05-2021 5:43pm

Rumbling away near Cork city.

thomasj · 18-05-2021 5:45pm

Just started belting down here in Blanch , I think that cell has reached here

sunbabe08 · 18-05-2021 5:46pm

Have a nice view of this thunder storm from the north side of cork city ðŸ˜Š lovely rumblings

antodeco · 18-05-2021 5:55pm

Monsoon like weather here near Lucan. Genuinely sounds and feels like Thailand (but without the heat). It's crazy!

PukkaStukka · 18-05-2021 5:58pm

Why do these cells spark furiously enroute to Dublin and suddenly cut out when they arrivre?

That shower over south Kilkenny aroung 15:30 today caused crazy flash flooding and had intense hailstones. I was near Callan at the time and traffic on the Clonmel to Kilkenny road was brought to a standstill with flood water and super low visibility.
