    Looks like some decent convection to the west of Cardigan bay in Wales according to the radar. Lets see if it manages to cross the Irish sea intact

    They seem to fizzle out while crossing the sea. Fingers crossed that won't happen.

    Yes in fact I'm surprised the activity hasn't fizzled out yet. If anything, judging by the radar and sat, shower activity seems to be intensifying?

    A surprise in store for Dublin and Wicklow this evening? Some activity in the south Irish sea atm could intensify further. Wouldn't be surprised to see the odd flash of lightning.

    Is there any chance of sparks in the West tonight looking at what is approaching the South West coast

    I think those of us in the east will be in for some disappointment. Yes, it's very warm in Dublin, but I just can't see anything other than a bit of rain hitting here.

    Awesome chase day to cavan and back then to the hill of tara, classic MCS type system with near constant thunder, some serious close lightning at time. Got some great video and a few decent photos.

    Wrecked now but seeing some more potential in the Irish Sea! ... might not get a chance to go through my stuff just yet! :)

    Yeah never manages to hold up. My money's on it to break up 10/15 out

    Looking at the lightning radar, there doesn't seem to have been much more activity out at the Irish Sea in the last while, nor does it seem to be getting any closer to the east coast.

    According to the 3hr rainfall forecast, it should hit North Dublin in about 1.5 hrs.

    And still sparking away. It will get here but whether it's turns out to be an event remains to be seen. I might head to the beach with the camera shortly if the sparks continue.

    Once hitting land it should intensify somewhat. Wish it was darker right now. Would see sparks already from Dub.

    It seems I was wrong so :p There's a heck of a lot of activity west of Dublin. It's been the case on and off all day, but I've only heard distant rumbles. It's like as if there's a force-field around us, haha.

    If you're between the green lines in this image, maybe get a hat and candles on standby from 10pm.
    Some of the times a bit off, but you get the idea. Radar at 21:15
