    You left out the PROB30 bit.

    Anyway to translate, there's a Probability 30% chance of temporary (basically, non continuous) Thunderstorm rain between 3pm and 7pm

    Not much so far but nice convective look to the cloud simulation for later today. The NW / W could possibly get some lightning later tonight / early morning as well.

    thunderstorm and intense rain just after passing through Dunshaughlin. Several flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder. One of the heaviest rain showers I have ever experienced in Ireland, flash flooding on side roads.

    According to Blitzortung, there have been quite a few strikes over Balbriggan / Laytown. The sky in that direction looks profoundly manky :D

    There's an interesting talk by Dr Claire Vincent (University of Melbourne) about the impact of climate change on convection and thunderstorms
