Definite thunder this time I think! Rain a bit heavier now.

Big boom and long rumble of thunder here - even though I am not surprised it nearly frightened the life out of me!

BOOOOM!!!!!! MAD LONGER THUNDER ROLL!

FunkSoulSista

Major thunder
in Dublin 8

ninebeanrows

A rumble from a cell around 5 miles inland to my west, which looks increasingly menacing, heading south very slowly

KillerToaster

Christ, scared the crap out of me here in Dublin 6. Don't think I've ever heard it so close as just now.

thomasj

Large belt of thunder in Dublin city just now. Georges street.

Carroller16

Sounded like a bomb going off in Rathmines.

10.6mm of rain at the 2pm update for Cork airport. Temperature down to 5C too!

HungryJoey

Boom and flash in D15.

Edit: that was supposed to be the other way around. Oops.

Big bang of thunder in Citywest a few mins ago. Same bang over all of Dublin!?

Nasty dark clouds looming close by and heavy rain.

kwik

Nice fork over d10 and loud thunder

Dave!

I feel like Im missing out on all this

Won't be saying that when I've to drive home from Wicklow to Terenure tomorrow...

IvySlayer

Yeah think the blue flash I saw must've been seen all over the place!

tintean

Heard a distant rumble in Maynooth so didn't take much note until husband working in D2 complained about ears ringing afterward - so must have been the echo of the 'Big One' you guys got in town!

Must have been IC (i.e. inter cloud rather than cloud to ground) lightning as nothing has shown up on detectors but reports of that thunder pretty widespread across the south of Dublin.

L.O.F.T

I'm in Newcastle, Dublin 22 and there was a really really bright flash of lightning and loud clap of thunder. There was a stinging noise in the air during the flash of lightning?

Su Campu

Two loud rumbles here in Celbridge about 10 minutes ago. Radar looks nice just to my southeast, so yeah, Citywest etc should be in the firing line

Speak Now

I see Cork Airport dropped to 5c during a shower in the 2 P.M reports.

Larbre34

Same flash and prolonged rumble heard here, assume its the very black sky of the cell south east of me. Not a drop of precip here all day so far

hailstones starting in coolock

brianthomas

Massive lightening strike directly over my house in clondalkin. 15 mins ago. 2.30 pm. Wow. So bright and loud. Amazing.

Mr Benevolent

Dublin's getting a presoak before the main event. I really hope this doesn't turn out like October's flood - that was no fun in a car.

Iancar29

Missed getting the strike on video by a minute.. Gutted

Interesting how the showers seem to map out the coastline in the southern half of the country, would someone more learned know if this is occurring because of a convergence zone along coastal regions or some other reason or is it simply coincidence?

I am not the learned one but definietly some convergence occuring. If you look at wind at Dublin AP it is (or was) due east, menawhile at Casement window is (or was) SW.
