    I may be reading this all wrong but it looks like a shallow low is developing to the SSW of Ireland:

    I see what you mean DE. I'm not sure either but might be just the movement of the clouds playing tricks on ya.

    Actually, the 18Z FAX has a developing frontal wave centred around just south of the bottom of that blue line, moving northeastwards, so it's definitely not a comma. I think it's just part of the upper cloud pattern

    Thank ye Maq & Su, Yeah you are probably right about the higher clouds playing tricks on mine eyes.

    What's a 'pinehole eye' I have never heard that term before?

    Ah just me makin a joke again DE, sorry. :o It looked a bit like a small eye on that frame. During the hurricane season, tropial watchers looking at hurricane images are always keeping an eye out for a pinhole eye, a sign that a hurricane may be undergoing rapid intensification.

    Got my power and internet back a while ago. It was an unreal storm, the sky turned as dark as duskish and the heavens opened. Had to attend livestock in the afternoon due to fears of flooding and an almighty shot like a gun went of about 500 yards away from us, next thing we saw was half the tree collapsing onto the road after being struck by lightning.

    Half rattled from the bang we hastilty retreated indoors to wait for the shower to go. The next hour was spent cutting up the tree to get the road (Back bohereen) opened again.

    Lightning is no joke and while it is nice to see and admire from safety when you are outside it is a different matter. This was the second time I came close to a lightning bolt when I was 11 in primary school a bolt struck about 12 to 15 feet away from us and blew the hoop off the basketball board!

    Didn't get any pictures as I left my phone in the van and was too busy clearing branches from the tree.

    I knew it was a joke I just thought you said 'pinehole' rather than 'pinhole'. My mistake. :)

    Having said that, I think Pinehole would make a great user name!!

    I am in South East Kerry, it happened close to Kenmare Bay and was roughly some time between 12.30ish going on one. There had been a massive bout of lightning earlier in the morning around 9.30 - 10ish and it seemed to be cleared away, but came back again.

    Ah, so this must be the storm front I had the pleasure of driving under in Laois on Saturday afternoon. Never really seen anything like it in the flesh, only on TV. Actually looked fairly like the storm front that was pictured over that stadium in that other thread last week - but not quite as intense - a great big linear cleft between two banks of cloud snaking from horizon to horizon. After driving towards it for 20 miles, it happened to arrive where I was going just as I did. Torrential rain for about 10 minutes, then it brightened up. No thunder or lightening though, pity.

    Some aerial shots from the day. Points for guessing where.

    M.T, is there any chance that this area of cloud currently off the west coast might bring anything?




    or is it more likely to be yet another wave of utter disappointment? :o

    Just saw this now. I was not around over the weekend but my OH got caught in a torrential shower of hail with thunder and lightning just after 7.00pm on Sat evening (north west Clare). It seems that it would have come from what you outlined DE.
