Big storm approaching here in south carlow

road_high · 21-09-2019 11:50am

Strange in Kilkenny. Thunder rolling there- sun was quite warm earlier

Storm 10 · 21-09-2019 11:54am

Com on guys pictures video !!!!!!

BuboBubo · 21-09-2019 11:57am

Dark now, plenty of thunder. Bit breezy too. South Co. Carlow

RobertKK · 21-09-2019 11:58am

Thunder is getting louder in north Kilkenny. Hopefully it comes directly over us. Very narrow shower band.

PukkaStukka · 21-09-2019 12:03pm

Plenty of altocumulus up the Irish sea off the Dublin coast. Think I'll stick a beer in the fridge in case things kick off

pad199207 · 21-09-2019 12:04pm

Thunder and lightning a plenty in Wexford

Harry Palmr · 21-09-2019 12:08pm

Hmm the real action is drifting just to the east of Waterford

Danno · 21-09-2019 12:09pm

Constant distant thunder heard from here in South Laois. Sky black to my SE. Notably breezy

RobertKK · 21-09-2019 12:11pm

Power outages increasing in the areas with the thunderstorms according to PowerCheck.

road_high · 21-09-2019 12:11pm

That rolled in very quickly from Wexford. Lights flickering now in Kilkenny. Neighboring counties watch out

On the other hand maybe that's not a bad thing!:)

Can’t be too far off as it’s rolling here in Kilkenny for the past hour but not that intense yet. The main activity seems a little further east along the Barrow valley

pad199207 · 21-09-2019 12:31pm

Storm as it was rolling into Kilmore Quay

nazcat · 21-09-2019 12:38pm

Any more due to roll in across South Kilkenny/Wexford or Waterford?
Seemed to pass very fast off up to Carlow and laois. Hoping to see some more but hard to tell if anything else is coming from the Celtic sea.

I can see the thunder clouds east of me from the city but it looks too far away to affect us here at the moment.

Bit late

highdef · 21-09-2019 12:48pm

Spectacular convection overhead and to my south and south west, in North Kildare. Was almost clear skies 15 minutes ago. Towers galore.

The altocumulus up the Irish see is starting to tower as well. And it's getting hazier and somewhat sultry now

Yup that's the incoming that affected kilkenny, it's taking the exact same route from the exact same place as those storms a few months ago

harr · 21-09-2019 12:57pm

Nice few flashes between portlaoise and Monasterevin and torrential rain ..the loudest thunder I have heard in a while.

road_high · 21-09-2019 1:00pm

Rain starting to get heavier in Kilkenny. Few flashes too

Wanderer78 · 21-09-2019 1:01pm

Thunder Waterford city

John.Icy · 21-09-2019 1:02pm

Can't hear anything yet near Athy. Seems to be all around.

pad199207 · 21-09-2019 1:07pm

Still some very faint rumbles in Wexford

highdef · 21-09-2019 1:13pm

North kildare, thunderstorm to my west and south west

robclay26 · 21-09-2019 1:16pm

It’s coming up from Mullingar direction and some nice lightning too!

TTLF · 21-09-2019 1:18pm

awh, seems to be going NW so dublin won't see it

AlanMcC23 · 21-09-2019 1:25pm

Lightening and loud thunder here in laois just outside mountmellick. Longest and loudest i have heard in ages with amazing lightening. Seems to have passed now though

Shame, all staying inland, still a very nice 19.8c despite it being quite cloudy now.

looks new storms developing east Wexford ....

Theres plenty evidence still of instability (acc and cb) here near Arklow to the east and west, so don't rule it out
It's a beautiful day too albeit mostly cloudy down here now

zisdead · 21-09-2019 1:52pm

West of Trim. 1.30 pm

copperhead · 21-09-2019 1:53pm

There were lots of lightning strikes here in New ross a few hours ago the two houses next to us got hit and while the fire brigade were here they had 4 more calls to attend to locally, scary stuff

PukkaStukka · 21-09-2019 1:54pm

Looking east over the Irish sea and it's convecting away nicely

pad199207 · 21-09-2019 1:58pm

We'll see, won't we.....

Mortelaro · 21-09-2019 2:16pm

Getting very Dark to the SW of us here near Arklow

jimmynokia · 21-09-2019 2:17pm

Looks like zero fun for Dublin.. God knows when the next run will be...

73bc61lyohr0mu · 21-09-2019 2:55pm

Lovely here in Limerick. Just serviced the car..

BlackandGreen · 21-09-2019 3:30pm

Most of it skirted up the Barrow but we still got a nice show in South Kilkenny.

Unfortunately by the time I got out most of it had passed north to Carlow.

The tail end of the storm brought warm but fresh breezes. Lots of mist and rain. It was lovely.

No lightning in these but the gentle thunder going through the valleys was lovely.

Spooked the pheasants

North Wexford/South Wicklow is looking interesting. An area of precipitation has developed rapidly, both in intensity and in size, in the past 30 minutes.

Probably won't develop into anything but one to keep an eye on.

RobertKK · 21-09-2019 4:26pm

Lots of power outages still in the south east from the lightning.

sryanbruen · 21-09-2019 4:36pm

Looks like some mammatus sneaked in a few moments ago in Dublin.
