Would love some October 03 type event!!!

Just light hail here at the moment, have the windows fully unblinded now!:pac:

Elessar

Thunderstorm with hail over Swords atm, seems to be passing off tho

arctictree

Lashing hail/rain here. Temp just dropped to 2.9c. Wind NE

Looks like those showers are just developing offshore and heading inland...

More feckin snow for Lug!!

ninebeanrows

Hail here now dying down.

No more lightning.

Snowbie

Yup no more lightning

That caught me off guard when i was at the front door. Lovely bright flash to the NE. Hail also stopped.

Another radar shot and compare to the last one i posted will give a general direction there moving. Radar echoes are very elongated which shows the cells are explosive over the sea and driven inland by strong NE winds.

5.2C
Dp 2.3C

DOCARCH

Very heavy hail here now - back garden is white!

Oh.....just stopped.....more please!

Kippure

Christ..just had a huge hail and sleet shower, the place is white out

Kippure

Showers developing out over the irish sea, hail or snow....we,ll see

LEIN

Was over in Dublin 17 this evening and drove through some exciting weather.

Rain, hail, lightening, hail, rain and then rain and hail mixed together.

Breezy and cool here ATM.

ninebeanrows

Lashing rain hail here now.

Horrible horrible night.

ninebeanrows

Big flash of lighning and bang within 2seconds.

Right over head like.

All calm for now.

ninebeanrows

MASSIVE Hail here.

came in a calm window.

Vicious cell

ninebeanrows

1cm diameter hailstone, just measured, cell has passed through now.

Went mental with the hail there for a sec. Was dead calm too, weird.

LEIN

Wind getting quite strong now.

Hopefully a nice thunder storm withe lots of hail or on the off chance some snow!

*snow is very doubtful

mike65

A few hefty stair-rod showers knocking about.

LEIN

Just seen a huge flash of light in Supercell's direction.

Too far away to hear the thunder.

arctictree

Mad heavy hail shower here. Big hail stones giving a covering on the ground. Temp dropped to 2.8c

Mobhi1

Driving from Naas to Dublin just before 7pm, extremely heavy (wintry) showers - very poor driving conditions; car thermo dropped to 2.

Fantastic day here in Sligo altogether. Cold, crisp, low winds and sunshine for the whole day. Out of the wind you could even call it warm.

Lovely !

LEIN

Wind has really picked up again with some sideways rain.

Would really like some of that heavy hail some of you are talking about.

Supercell

Just back home, feckin hail everywhere and can confirm Damo's sighting , there is thunder in Scarr's direction.
Roads are utterly threacherous with the hail never mind the odd stray deer!

In the city centre around 8pm I got caught in what can only be described as a hailstorm (in my opinion!). It suddenly just started bucketing hail and the wind became fierce too. Hail itself was quite large and the roads were becoming flooded by the time it ended about 10-15mins later. I could make out the shape of the CB's over the light pollution. Not surprised there was lightning elsewhere.

Tell me about it, my nightschool class ended in the middle of that. Got soaked on the way to the car and then sat in a fecking traffic jam for around 30 mins with the car steaming up around me..Fun stuff I tells ya!

Danno

Max of 7.2c here today. Two showers dropped 2.0mm. Currently 2.9c.

DOCARCH

Woke up this morning to remnants of hail on cars, roofs, etc.

Max temp. yesterday 7.1c Min temp. overnight 1.5c 5.1mm of rain/hail in last 24 hours. This should be 5th consecutive day of max. temps in single figures - not bad for October.

MetE are forecasting increasing risk of thunderstorms during the day for the east coast - speaking of which there is already a nice little Cb to my east atm.

Hope this forecast is more treat than trick (given the day that's in it!)

rhonin

Lovely frosty sunny morning.

Snowbie

Low of 3.3C, a few hit and miss showers overnight.

Thunder rumbling in the Celtic sea right through the night due to the long track over water.
Could see that anvil Docarch mentioned. Nice view of it in the early morning sun.
5.6C atm
Wind NW overnight but should swing into the NE soon.

Cloudy and windy overnight with quite a few more noisy hail showers

Currently almost 7c and sunny

DOCARCH

2.3c here atm. Wind appears to be northerly and bit all over the place atm. 100% clear blue sky here with showers hugging the coast - need wind to go back to NE!
