The showers are lined up with the wind so you could go all day & not get one or get one that lasts all day !

Timelapse video i shot today in Waterford City looking East. We didn't get much rain here today but in South Kilkenny and Wexford in the distance looks like they did. Check the Rainbow at 43 seconds.

Some strikes around meath/Dublin already. Alot of red returns on the radar now, could get interesting!:D

Aye, meath and louth look to be heating up with a few strikes. Looking at met.ie radar the showers seem to building up nicely around the area.

Pay no attention to that, you'd think Dublin was getting a pasting looking at that radar, in fact it's a lovely day here-warm even and not a drop!

highdef

Clonmellon, Trim and Athboy are being lashed out of it right now.....Kells and Navan to follow very shortly.

highdef

There's a new cell that has popped up in the past few minutes around Blessington. Its trajectory is towards west Dublin at the moment. If it develops further, it could potentially turn into a humdinger....maybe even something similar to what central Meath is currently experiencing???
