Major downpour just now in Carlow, temp is gone up a couple of degrees also.

Very heavy shower here in south Dublin atm. 8.2mm so far andwith high rain rate of 69.8mm/hr. No sign of any sparks.

Latest model has shifted the best instability further north. Not quite as juicy as it looked yesterday, but north midlands and northeast areas especially still look good for some thunderstorm potential today.

My weather app is telling expect thunderstorms for cork/youghal until tomorrow. What are the chances?

highdef

Looks like a few cells are popping in a line from south Dublin westwards to around Kinnegad, if the radar is to be believed.

Some angry looking clouds around Dublin, as can be seen here http://www.webworldcam.com/webcam-index.php?var=3360&site=http://www.dublincity.ie/dublintraffic/

Weather apps are usually fairly rubbish, full of generalisations taken from model ensembles or a computerised forecast from a desk at the other side of the world.

Tomorrow is actually the least likely day out of the next 4 days for thunder and with the kind of formation of storms we get forecasting a particular place, i.e. Youghal is just throwing darts at a map.

This will be a nowcast thing but right now it looks like the northwest and north most at risk of thunderstorms and heavy rain later this evening and overnight. Lighter showers elsewhere and could be completely dry in parts of the east and southeast.

Meteorite58

Spherics showing up in the North/ NorthWest and off the South coast, Weather coming from the Atlantic onto coastal counties could produce some activity, moderate rainfall here now in North Kerry, radar suggesting heavier stuff on the way.

redsteveireland

Heavy rain has arrived in East Galway, plenty more to come by the looks of the radar. No sign of any TS activity.

Storm 10

very heavy rain now in Galway City, no activity though

yellowlabrador

DOCARCH

Why do people have to be repeatably asked for their location when they post about their current weather conditions? Its so annoying.

Because some people go to the trouble of putting their location in their sig.

If is that annoying...scroll right down the page and click on 'full site'.

Riverireland

Are west Dublin north Kildare likely to see any action?

Kermit.de.frog

North Kildare possible in next hour or so. A bit of a rain shadow for Dublin so we might just miss out.

Because of two things, one, some posters don't include it in their, and some readers are using mobile boards and the sig does not show up on that.

When we are talking about current conditions, now that's another topic as to where posts should go and in times of events getting massive, they generate their own thread for a while, in fact if an event strikes Cork, and no where else, all Cork traffic is sent to a new thread.

In reporting live, current conditions and locations are IMO, vital.

Clonmel had 25mm of rain in one hour this evening between 5:30 and 6:30.
