    Still yet to catch any storms here in Cork. A few hail showers and some impressive towering clouds about. Caught a nice snap of a system moving past the east of the city about 2 hours ago.

    Greater Dublin region would have done well had these moved this far east 2 hours ago, but the heat is dying and the CBs will start decaying very soon.

    I nearly gave up! Showers to my north - showers to my south - showers to my west but nothing here. :mad:

    Finally showers have arrived! No thunder though (yet).

    Can see your little storm on radar - popped up out of nowhere - obviously Wicklow Mtn influence.

    A few more showers still seem to be building to the NW of Dublin.

    yeah its out to sea now rumbling but there's a trail of precip connected to it over lug following.
    Its connected by a dark vein about 10 miles
    wide.
    More hail now from under the vein

    Looks similar on Radar grab to what the radar looked like for the waterspout the other morning.

    Interesting shower to my north on radar.

    I took a flight out over Co. Meath this evening and counted 5 separate showers in view at one stage. Airliners on frequency were requesting turns to avoid these showers. It was nice flying around and between them, a bit like walking in a forest with huge towering trees either side. Didn't have my camera with me so missed out on a nice photo opportunity. :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,279 ✭✭✭Su Campu


    A few sferics were picked up in Dublin and east Meath earlier. Glad I landed when I did! Nothing in the Dublin or Casement reports though.

    That one to south Dublin is from the shower that escaped to the south of me earlier.

    This is what I felt like doing today. Absolutely zilch here apart from a few drops. The most annoying thing is my parents back in Meath have taken a battering over the last few days.

    From Weston. I only went to 2,000 ft, around 500 ft below cloud base, so no chance of seeing any overshooting tops from that angle!!
