Lord almighty, I think I would die in that heat. Where was that, somewhere in the UK?

Thunderstorm warning gone to orange level, from 3 pm to overnight

Lightning and thunder just started here along with a nice fall of rain. Hoping it goes on through the night. I love watching it.

The Gods are angry here in west Clare now. couple of flashes of Lightning every minute along with heavy rain and constant thunder

Amazing lightening show from Nenagh down to Charleville tonight...bone dry by Buttevant, and by Mallow you'd think you were still in the middle of the heat wave...hope we get some drop..

Curse These Metal Hands · 15-08-2022 12:01am

Loads of big clear forks in Meath but haven't heard a single rumble of thunder

Was having a look at the lightning, standing on a step ladder, looking out over the garage and fields/landscape. When says I, that looks very like a fire in the locality, the way there was a sudden appearance of an orange glow in that vicinity and glow in the cloud above. So I hoped in the car looking for this "fire". I found it was from an orange outdoor light.

It normally wouldn't be visible in the sky. But there just happened to be a cloud burst above and the light was following the water back up and into the cloud above. Absolute floods on the road. Drove home (half mile as the crow flies) and it was still dry under the trees. Barely a bit of rain.

It is generally raining more here since then. But no torrential downpour.

Thunderstorms went after. But now returning again.

Not adrop here yet. Lightening in the distance but nothing nearby

whelan2 · 15-08-2022 6:08am

I slept through it all

Dozer1 · 15-08-2022 9:07am

got a good drop of rain in Limerick by the look of the yard this morning the thunder and lightning was class from 10pm lit the place up, my eldest wouldn't like it so she was shook for a good bit

Mooooo · 15-08-2022 9:41am

No rain, a bit of lightning last night to the North of us alright

jaymla627 · 15-08-2022 9:54am

Rain for the week after disappearing of met.ie forecast got a drop last night, anyone in carlow/kilkenny areas are going to be in serious trouble heading into the backend, if the weather settles down again with minimal rainfall

Reggie. · 16-08-2022 9:27am

Still nothing here in the Midlands. Loads of showers around but all avoided us

whelan2 · 16-08-2022 9:35am

Was driving to football yesterday evening. Torrential rain for the first few Miles, wipers on full, feck all visibility. Then nothing, road dry, sun out....

The Rabbi · 16-08-2022 1:39pm

Kildalton recorded 40mm in an hour,it passed through here on it's way to New Ross.

4 miles SE there wasn't a drop.

foxy farmer · 16-08-2022 2:17pm

Back to 16° today with a north wind. Youd nearly be cold in a t shirt. In my own part of west cork we were to get rain up to 12 mm yesterday but not a drop. Thunder rumbling north of us but no more. We'd badly do with rain. I've 18 acres of reseeding that's gone black from the heat. It's actually crispy when you walk through it.

We had a day of soft rain back the 23july but nothing since. Things are dry here with months. I've a lad taking 3silage bales aweek with last 6 weeks feeding young stock. He was telling me this morning that his 3 Wells are struggling.

For such a small island we have an awful diversity in our weather patterns. OH and I were supposed to load straw in Kildare early this morning but the farmer phoned us late last night to say that they got heavy downpours.

Someone mentioned on the thunderstorms thread on the weather forum. They noticed before these hit that they noticed thunderstorms and downpours tended to follow the rivers.

Mooooo · 16-08-2022 4:46pm

Got some rain after the thunder alright. Few miles away measured 30 I think but don't think we got near that. Tis normal rain is whats needed really so twud have a chance of soaking in. Last reseeding we did came up but dry spell has it hampered big time

Same here. Had to ring straw lorry last night and cancel this morning, by midday you could travel anywhere, back at it in the morning anyway.

Injuryprone · 17-08-2022 7:02am

Talking to a neighbour last night who religiously leaves out a bucket to check the rainfall amount. He measured 3.25 inches Monday afternoon/evening and I'd believe it. Never seen heavy rain to last as long. North cork btw.
