Lovely day in Galway now. Blue sky's all over. Hope it's the calm before the storm.

Drove through that squall on the N7 just before Naas earlier today, traffic went from 100KM/h to nearly stationary in a matter of seconds. Very bad day to be out driving!

Mentioned a chance of damage to stuff from lightning possible

Yes and looking at the uk rainfall radar the first of these thunderstorms out west look fairly intense we should get a better idea of the intensity on the met eireann radar when the storms get abit closer

Storm 10

Not looking that bad on Met Eireann radar

Hard to tell from met Eireann radar yet. The earlier band didn't look like much until it got closer to shore. What are the odds of Shannon going down???

Can see flashes off to the East of Cork looks like incoming for Waterford

Well if anywhere is gonna see any of these showers later, north meath is nailed on for them, we seem to have got every drop of rain that has fallen since this month began and even now listening to it and looking at the rainfall radar chart, the only shower over the east coast is falling here right now and its Lashing :rolleyes:
