    And this large Cumulonimbus Cloud over Eglinton this afternoon.

    Met Eireann are forecasting a risk of thundery from today for over several days. It looks like most of us will be seeing thunderstorm activity over the next week.

    Showers seem to be intensifying as they cross the country this afternoon...wouldn't rule out a couple of sparks in the next hour or two.
