Thunder and lightning here now

dopolahpec

What's the prognosis for the late afternoon and evening? Will there be an intensification? Or has this peaked, looking at the radar it certainly looks like a decline in activity west of the Shannon where the showers in the east fed in from this morning.

Unreal show here now

Cell has moved on, saw 1 cloud to ground strike and 2 cloud to cloud, but looking at the sky I don't think that's the last of it today.

Is the weather in Naas due to hit Dublin city centre?

East and northeast this afternoon. Nothing in the west for the rest of the day.

Peak activity will be around 3-6pm in the northeast.

Finally something down here.

Crazy rain and decent thunder and lightning.

Just had a strike now and my PC turned on.

If that thing stays together then Dublin is in for a show

Showery and thundery in Ongar

This is really something else... in Naas, currently a monsoon, ceaseless rumbling of thunder.

Was out the back about 15 minutes ago while it was bright - I could see the dark skies to the south west and distant rumbling every 10-15 seconds.

How long before it hits Dublin, we got nothing yesterday after all the hype, now that I'm in Dublin I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of action, am based near Hueston so it should be first point of call for the CC, hopefully.

one heavy shower an hour ago and a beautiful sunny day since! Athlone is back to normal
