    Augers well for overnight in the southeast and east so and this evenings ECM assessment of things,if its lightning we want,might get to test my new black out drapes later as more high cold clouds tops meander up from Biscay where they've been sparking all day?
    No chance :D:D

    Potentially 40mm of rain over a few hours, followed by potentially another 10-30mm in localised thunderstorms is most definitely a serious event if you're in a flood-prone area. Such as I am in Mountmellick.
    Certainly a potentially serious event for us and so the council have been out cleaning drains in advance.
    I can recall 3 other late summer deluges that caused serious worry here. The last being September 2010.
    The serious flooding of Mountmellicj in November 2017 was caused by a 40mm deluge overnight over say 6 hours.
    So please don't Pooh Pooh a rain event if you have never faced flooding before. While we're all weather freaks, it's not all ****s and giggles.

    Quite active across the southwest and off the southern coast now with many verified strikes in the last half hour.

    How this holds together and develops further as it moves north is key.

    Might be an interesting few hours ahead.

    What's the best page for lightning updates, using lightningmaps.org thought there was better one which you could really zoom in on?

    The lightening we are getting here on the rural coast near Kinsale is lighting up the entire sky, which is full of dark clouds. But we are not hearing any thunder whatsoever, which I assume means that the strikes are relatively far away. We are enjoying nature’s show tonight sitting with the lights out - it’s spectacular.

    I was wondering if that was Thunder in Douglas or a lorry going by down the road... I guess that answers my question!

    I note that although the Shannon rainfall radar is still awol, met eireann’s lightning detector has picked up the recent West Cork strikes and seems more accurate than the alternatives.
