    Looks like Galway City and surrounding areas will miss out on any real action from this, the first band is moving steadily NE'ward so it looks like we'll only get a glancing blow and the 2nd band which is just hitting Cork now, where the most intense stuff seems set to be, is going to be too far east for us. Hopefully I'm wrong but just going on radar + what NAE is showing

    The met UK predictive sequence is generally fairly accurate up to about 12 hours I find. And it predicts exactly this happening. Which makes me happy cos there is already a lot of flooding. Night night :D

    The Belmullet report was 'Heavy thunderstorm'.

    Short, sharp bursts of rain just started here.

    Drizzle in Galway, bed time I think...

    Good luck to anyone in the south and east looking for some thunderstorms, hopefully the radar will be interesting by morning
