Very intense cells in east Ulster from Newry up to Lurgan.

Lady_North1

Lots of rumbling thunder in Swords at the moment. No rain though. Yet!!!

acassells80

Sky very dark in Dublin 1, no thunder as yet

Stereomaniac

Very heavy rainfall in Kilkenny about 90 minutes ago, lasting approximately ten minutes. Brilliant!

maquiladora

East coast really made the most out of the available energy there.

V_Moth

Some distant rumbles from the cell east of Kilcoole.

lolie

Just had a serious downpour pass over lough sheelin and overhead here, lots of near constant rumbling but only a handful of small sheet flashes. Some of the clouds today and yesterday are stunning.

Ongoing thunder still-mad stuff altogether.
Took 14 mins of video there with pretty much constant thunder and lightning.
Not sure how to upload that file size,but it may wait as the power is gone here with a good while.

Sure try and upload to youtube and copy and paste the link here.

Lashing down in Dublin City now. Still have yet to hear thunder

I counted eight or nine claps of thunder in Clondalkin between 15:15 and 16:00, or thereabouts. It has rained, but it's brightened up. Patches of blue sky now. I would have reported those sooner, but my internet was a bit dodgy. Back in business, though

I was told there were a few claps earlier too around Clondalkin around 11:30 or so, but I was in Deansgrange around then, and then in town. There was no trace of any thunder, but it did rain briefly in town around lunchtime. Otherwise, the weather was grand.

At Dublin airport most flights delayed. ..very dark overhead

finally rumble of thunder just outside wicklow town

Navan Co.Meath okay for now. Sun shining. Terrible downpours yesterday evening.

12Z GFS just out shows what we now know ourselves from experience! Cape and lift was better in the east/southeast than expected today :

Sunshine in Clondalkin now. Just looking to the south, and it's quite cloudy. The sky doesn't look too dark, though.

Nothing in Wexford town all day again even though the whole east got some action.

Fairly sickened to say the least
