I don't think so. There was a LOT of thunder. I seen one flash at the start. But I did not watch it fully after that !

Looks like it might just go north of Derry. Will be pretty close though.

Fantastic photos lads, Would love to see something here in Wexford over the next few days but looking unlikely.

While there were plenty of clouds building over Achill before moving inland, there wasn't even a drop of rain. A cracking day here, would love some thunder though.

Three rumbles a few mins ago small ploosh of rain now, glad I cut grass earlier.

Tomorrow looks like being quieter day with showers mostly confied to Western areas and probably not as thundery as the past couple of days.

Sunday looks interesting but no point looking in detail there until tomorrow night because things can change.
