    Pity Galway missed out again though :(

    As always :mad::(:mad::(

    I watched in despair as it passed overhead just as it was starting to build, took some pictures, at this stage I'm sure the neighbours think I'm spying.

    There was lots of thunder here again, just to the south of me, out of the rain but it has started to rain a few minutes ago.

    Lots of thunder and lightning around Fintown in central Donegal according to the parents, nothing but heavy rain here on the west coast of course :rolleyes:

    North east England is getting an absolute pelting today, persistent torrential downpour all day and plenty of thunder and lightning

    Serious thunder a while ago in Kilkenny, was outside and it must have been right over me, saw the flash and the thunder was a fraction of a second later.

    A lot of showers to the north of me all day but one sprung up very suddenly just over town (Tomb) during the evening and dumped 4.6mm in a short space of time. What amazed me though was how rapidly the shower developed as 15 mins before the downpour arrived there was no sign of it at all.

    I saw something like mammatus clouds alright in Dublin 13 around 8.30 or 9, but nothing as defined as that and not as many depressions in the cloud. Did you enhance the photo to get a better look?

    A little bit of action off the south coast.

    Cork(sunbabe are you watching?) or Waterford could get some action from the look of the movement on http://www.sat24.com
    :(
