The hail was very heavy today and it was unusually large as well.

The thunder was very cool though. Loud and forceful like Thor himself was putting on a show.

One of the peals set off a number of car alarms where I was.

Not even enough to wet the ground here and I can see blue sky to the SW : It looked so good on the radar earlier:mad:

Have just witnessed spray ring on water surface on Dublin Bay, but did not extend to funnel. Very clearly observed though binoculars, but no camera good enough to capture image.

Followed by thunder and now a beautiful if very low rainbow.

Update, now a double rainbow.

Thunder in Tullamore at the moment.

Not a proper camera amongst the three of us, all iphone owners. Lucky I keep a good set of bins handy, with the view I have out over the Bay, it's well worth it. Looked very impressive though.

South coast could see a nice bit of action today, Cork especially. Saw or heard nothing this morning was up late.

Would you believe i've yet to hear one rumble of thunder this summer, Could it all change today?
