    Mt Dillon station in Co. Roscommon got 30.8mm of rain from today's thunderstorm. Stayed dry this evening in my location south of Limerick city. There was evidence that there was heavy rain in town. Heard a good bit of thunder and saw a couple of lightening flashes.

    It was a great day for a lot of the country alright, I'm glad lots of you got some action. I'm dying for a decent thunderstorm here, it has been years since we got anything noteworthy other than a few rumbles here and there.


    I have vague memories of the big one in 1985, I was only 6 years old but it stuck with me and I think I've been chasing that memory ever since. The early snow memories of the 80s have been re-lived multiple times in recent years which just goes to show how rare a good thunderstorm is, around these parts anyway!

    Indeed. Ireland as a whole is desperate for storms. Even to get a few rumbles is a gargantuan struggle, even when the forecast risk is high. When you compare this to Europe, it becomes even more depressing. Some of the storms there last week were the size of Ireland!

    Anyways, satellite animation for today showing the growth of those showers today. Unfortunately, the images stopped updating after 9.15pm.

    Croatia and surrounds are getting a right pasting at the moment.

    I’ve never seen such concentrated strikes.

    Yes we got heavy rain. It dried up quite quickly afterwards.

    Cheers Sqautter & Rougies. They are the ones. Amazing to see just how much of the country is covered with recorded sferics today, especially given the benign looking synoptics at the moment.

    It kind of hilarious how my location avoided them given the mass of activity on all sides

    Same here, I haven't heard a single rumble of thunder since the 26th of May last year. Oddly enough it on was my very first day back in the country having spent the previous year in the tropics with near daily thunderstorms so I didn't even take notice of it! I'd kill for even a brief pulse storm at this stage :(

    AND NO PICS....GTFO

    Battery on my phone died.

    I used the last 1% I had to record 1 minute of video and it was the only minute without a single flash I reckon. Just my luck

    There wasn't a single clap of thunder in south east yesterday. I spent the day in Waterford, Tipp, Carlow, Kilkenny and Wexford. Toured every county and not even a drop of rain. 
    Bit of a shock to see how bad the west got it on that map.
