not so many flashes now and the only ones I'm seeing seem to be to the SSE out at sea.

Lots of fireworks off at sea down south of us. About 5 per minute at the moment.

Heavy rain and the occasional flash of lightning of the coast of North County Dublin

maquiladora

Not sure the sferics down off the south coast are making much progress north.

Tomorrow looks like having some potential too though.

Just as I say that....

My Twitter timeline is full of lightning tweets. Some reports from Dublin 5 and Dublin 16, maybe other parts of Dublin. I do think Dublin 22 has a force field around it :P

Showery troughs like that can sometimes flare up again on reaching the coast, esp when encountering some higher ground. This helps to give some extra 'lift' to cells.
