    hi folks, can anyone give me an idea on how Gorey Co Wexford will fare this evening. Have a BBQ planned, and a rain and lightning storm will scupper this somewhat

    Should be one of nicest parts of the country this evening. Very unlikely to rain

    Cell approaching Galway city has really pepped up in the last 10 minutes or so. May well start spitting out sparks over the city centre.

    Still nice and sunny in Castlebar but a grave darkness hangs over Westport and the mountains to the south.

    The lightningmaps.org site is brilliant. Watching the expanding circle of thunder approaching then hearing it outside is very entertaning!

    In the Galway region, Tuam looks like being in the firing line soon and perhaps Athenry.

    My children are very excited.

    I've given them little jobs of unplugging all the electrical appliances. They're taking responsibility for allocated rooms :)

    Out at the back by the ocean a lovely breeze, but at the dwelling, oppressive heat.. All quiet though. And hot sun.

    The breeze is enough to make white ripples on the bay

    Strange to see the cells over Galway tracking easterly, while the ones just down the road in Clare are heading roughly westerly/SW....

    Some impressive inter-cloud bolts visible here with constant rumbling. No sign of any rain though.

    Wife is in Tulsk today and they have had thunder and lightning for an hour so far.

    Not a sign of it in Athlone so far, just some nice friendly fluffy clouds

    No rain has fallen on any published station on Met.ie as of 1500 today. Lightening maps are showing strikes in North Clare ATM. No serious development down Limerick area yet although some of the small cumulus clouds are inclined to merge into larger clumps. Weather just outside Limerick city is fair and warm. Hoping to dodge the rain as I have a field of grass cut for baled silage.

    I wish, though there was some rotation in that thinner streak of cloud next to the bigger one. Didn't last long though.

    19.6mm. Rain becoming more 'gentle'.
