    At least 3 strikes haven't been picked up in S.Dublin on that map. Ireland's lightning detector network isn't great.

    You can only see faint flashes during daylight hours unless your right under the cell.

    Instability has peaked so things will start to die off soon.

    Unfortunately, didn't see much lightning, and what I saw, was white sheet lightning.

    I hope there is more storms later.

    That shower has just arrived in Inchicore. Huge amount of rotation above and just to my west and northwest. As it approached, wind picked up suddenly and began blowing towards the oncoming shower. Very obvious rotation to be seen too. I'd say there'll be sparks any minute

    I believe the showers just off the east coast were enhanced by a sea breeze convergence zone, amazing the pure blue skies just off the coast earlier
