Make sure you tick "lightning" in the settings (little cogs) in the bottom right of the map.

There's fog at Cork Airport. I wonder what lightning looks like through fog...I've never witnessed that, though I would imagine the fog may clear with the approaching storm.

That seems to be leaving out the sferics over the past hour, both here and down in Biscay and Morocco.

Why are all the strikes off shore, only the rain is making it inland. Sea temp. vs land temp.? or what?

Here's some video of what happened in Belfast earlier.

Its so heavy. I'm watching out my bedroom window and keep sticking my hand out to feel the force of it. I'd love a good old thunderstorm.

admiralofthefleet

there seems to be a lot of activity out to sea south of Cork

sunbabe08

just saw a flash. no thunder

Harps

Most activity is still offshore but a few strikes starting to show up in Cork and Kerry now. If the Norwegian HIRLAM is accurate with its precip prediction then it could be an interesting night/morning ahead yet

yay thunder and lightening in cork city

Super-Rush

Wind has picked up here.

Light rain, nothing else.

admiralofthefleet

rain has stopped and its eerily quiet and very foggy in arklow

sunbabe08

I can hear thunder in the distance at times, but no lightning.

sunbabe08
