Same here...Waiting for a long time a decent storm..

Would love to be in the U.S. where they get decent proper storms.

Fingers crossed....

Thanks for the update.

Been a glorious afternoon here in West Cork.. A wild, sweet wind came and blew the fug away, and warm, blessed sun,..

Had a wonderful time in the garden.

Still sunny with magnificent skies.

Am watching some fork lightning displays to my NW at the moment from a shower skirting a few miles NW of Tuam at the moment. Only 2 distant rumbles heard but first thunder I have heard for a very long while.

Edit: another very distant rumble and the sun has just peeped out!!

Edit: taken a few mins ago (I am no photographer ) shower base seems to be in over the Mayo border now. No lightning or thunder to report since.

Nah, watched weather happening elsewhere rather than directly overhead. Currently watching a black run of showers just to my east this time around. Talk about being piggy in the middle! Only a few drops here today amounting to a spectacular 0.3mm.

Bring your waders, high tide Cobh 07:43 SE wind means rising tides will race and our max is 06:00 with continued intensity to about 09:00 and then just heavy rain and showers.

And of course the ESB may have to release water too, so fun times. reservoir looks high in Inniscarra today too.

I have a nice view of the south section of the Lee in the city. Shall set my alarm a little early to get a look in the morning, see what kinda height it's at. Seemed very high this evening anyway.
