It's turning into a beast alright, but it's heading more NE than NW. I was hoping some of it's siblings might throw a tantrum on it's western flank but of course they decided to flare up on the eastern side lighting up the English Channel instead.

Are you able to look at the netweather radar? I dunno seems to me that the precipitation is headin NW. According to the Sat the anvil is being pushed Northwards alright

It's hard to see much potential in tonight, temperature has fallen back too much. Ideally we'd be wanting 17c or 18c with dewpoints at least 13c to have any hope. The only hope is for the Devon storm to develop into a mesoscale one that can survive the 80 mile sea trek to Wexford.

I'd say folks on the Wexford coast will start seeing distant flashes from this beast shortly.

Could be in for an MCS up the East Coast later. We pray.

Yeah precip does look to be heading NW on all radars. And the sat24 map is offset by a few degress, so the caps are probably heading more NW too. Sferics also seem to be heading in a NW direction now. Hmmm. Even the models don't completely rule out the possibility. Maybe there is a chance?

If things hold together, it could be very noisy in the Dublin areas in a few hours

I'm not optimistic, but whatever happens these are some impressive thunderstorms worth watching!

I think we starting to see its demise on its western flank. Still a very impressive MCS getting together.
Looks like she's sailing up the Irish Sea. F%*kn typical

Estofex were spot on for the storm tonight so far.

There are some some troops starting to battle on the western flank again. Hopefully they're more like the vikings than the romans this time.

Going by the radar it looks like a Irish sea thing again!!

You just couldn't make it up. This country is cursed.

You called/cursed it earlier! It's looking like a replica of last July. Madness.

Did I hear a massive rumble of thunder in the Blanchardstown area just now? Near hartstown. It didn't sound like a plane. It was a few seconds and gone again.

It's muggy and humid enough for something homegrown. Who knows?

A disappointing event in the end, but perhaps unsurprising. It looks like the south of England has been the place to be since last night, with the western part getting a hammering, and now it seems that the eastern part has had/has plenty of action.

Lightning activity for the 26-5-17




Huge storms in the UK overnight and this morning

Torrential rain in D20

Look at those storms developing south of leeds! The lightning build up is unreal

Possibly could be something forming here in wexford.
May not be warm enough air to feed it though to produce a thunderstorm.
But it's certainly moist enough after the rain earlier this morning.
The wind is from the west blowing into a black looking system to the east of me.

It's moving on away now.
Looks to be heading for Wicklow direction.

May or may not produce sferics.
But who knows maybe it will by the time it reaches Dublin.

UK getting the spoils again.. FFS.

Is it possible to get those type of storms in this country? They are to drool over!

I feel sort of jealous that northern England is getting some active thunderstorms. The extofex chart on the last page posted around 0300 didn't indicate that much thunder for England showing most of outside the light yellow 15% boundary. Extofex indicated more activity for the Island of Ireland but so far very little so far.

That chart was only valid until 6am this morning and it was spot on for SW England. Here's the chart for 6am Sat - 6am Sun.

Here's a video from Plymouth last night showing the intensity of the storm. Excuse the bad language on the video if you are sensitive to that. Personally, I'd probably be saying some of the same stuff myself if I had been there!
