My rain alarms are going off all morning yet not a drop of rain. I'm just 5 miles for the city centre and as reported already it experienced some very heavy downpours.

I can see a large storm forming to the south west of Cork city, hopefully will be able to see some of the action from here.

Sadly the Thunder shield is fully operational on this side of Galway as per usual

A heavy shower around around 1 o'Clock with a few distant rumbles off to the East was the sum total of today's excitement.

Temp a Tropical 16.8c

Somehow missing all of it here. Hazy sunshine, calm, 15.5c, spitting rain and a very bland looking sky....how am I missing out?

sunbabe08

Bugger all here in Wexford as usual.

Boo-urns.
