    Sitting in my room here watching some nice, if increasingly infrequent crawlers to my north. Resulting thunder getting more distant sounding.

    I think it was on this day 2 or 3 years ago we had a similar storm on this very day (July 19th) but it occurred during the nightime hours instead.

    Yep round 2 here near Trim! It’s mad, I’m standing outside (in shelter!) and although the whole sky looks exactly the same, dark clouds all around, the rain just goes into mad crazy bursts of lashing, then easing, then absolutely lashing again, but I can’t see how as cloud doesn’t look different! If that makes sense! :P

    Thunder and lightning seem to be getting closer again. Lightning has an orange tinge about it.

    Interesting 'pulsing' returns on the radar, really shows how unstable the atmosphere is in the Midlands with huge changes frame to frame.

    Plenty rain here all evening but nothing interesting, just plain old light/moderate stuff

    Just got a notification here telling me that 'rain will start in 30 mins'. Thing is, it's been pissing out of the heavens for the last hour. I'll say it again but that Shannon Radar, which the entire west of Ireland depends on, is totally and utterly feckin' useless.

    Edit, torrential rain again with low vis.

    Have you no Gauge to measure all this rain?

    Heavy rain in South Sligo now.

    Bit of a heatwave due next week so this rain will be needed as long as it doesn't cause any localised flooding

    Amazing summer evening in DUB airport, everything passed to the north of us. Would have preferred the show but 2nd best will do.

    Radar animation (the original and best) from Met Eireann for this eve: Seems to be more heavy showers breaking out over the east midlands at the mo:

    Wind has picked up here and still raining but with just an 'ordinary' heaviness. Looks like about 4pm on a December evening. Makes me yearn all the more for an end to this insufferable season.

    Navan was the place to be today. Thunder started around 5pm, then sparks and torrential rain with some great cracks of thunder. Lasted for the 90 mins I was outdoors.

    Fell asleep very early. with a familiar lullaby of drumming rain and howling wind. ... calm now, grey and dark. The summer is passing.

    49mm of rain in Claremorris in 24hrs so that 34mm in one hour was right

    We had a hourly fall of 26.1mm here yesterday, with 20.1 of that falling in less than 15 mins, so considering that this shower intensified further as it moved north from here, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Claremorris' 34mm hourly total is valid.
