You can see the Cork storm exploding and some smaller cells poping up around it now on satellite.

Another 15/20 minutes and swords co. Dublin should get a good hit by the looks of it.

Not much happening in waterford, few distant flashes now and again, all street lights went off a few mins ago and came back on, thunder earlier but none now just few distant flashes, really am hoping for more!

Deank

The rain is so heavy here it sounds like hail on the conservatory roof, only a couple of flashes so far.

Lashing rain in Booterstown

Some nice flashes in north cork for the past half an hour, rumbles are distant though.
Very calm outside after all the wind and rain earlier.

The big Cork storm had a new burst of energy there, on the Netweather radar the core is showing at around 80 mm/hr.

sunbabe08

there's a firework display down in east cork. damn it :mad::mad:

just after seeing 3 flashes in the last 5 mins.

I don't think Cork City is in line for anything major tonight - too far west it seems :-(

pad199207

ninebeanrows

I was hoping the storm over Cork would have made its way across to the south east, but it looks like it hasnt moved much at all in the past 45 minutes.

snowstorm445

Still plenty of storm over East Cork:

(http://www.met.ie/latest/rainfall_radar.asp)

The storm over Leinster looks like its pushing over Dublin City as we speak and well into the Irish Sea.

keith16

Just listening to the ATC feed there. The last Aer-Lingus flight that landed in DUB reported to the tower that their radar was showing very strong returns but the actual rainfall levels were moderate and descent was very smooth vs. expectations from the radar.

Apologies should be public have the baby curled up with me now.
