    Shannon Radar isnt working, Dublin radar won't have much/any accuracy for Galway.

    Still raining here, stopped for about 20 mins but has now started again. Wind picked up too. It's not torrential like earlier though.

    We need to clear this frontal rain north ASAP. I was expecting some embedded storms, that so far is not happening. Thunder potential is right the other side coming on to the south coast soon. Hoping for some development from there later in the night.

    Knowing my luck i'll be tucked up in bed.

    Any chance that the wind from this will be hanging out over the weekend. On the boat to holyhead Sunday morning and would prefer not to be bouncing around the sea

    Rain has intensified in West Clare, pouring now.

    Update: 20mins later and it's much lighter now.

    Looking at the sferic maps, flashes may be visible to your south soon.

    Very mild humid feeling evening here in Donegal. No rain. Still plenty of clear patches in the cloud cover. Expecting nothing more than a bit of rain tonight. Has this event been over hyped? It's August, not winter. A bit of persistent rain and a fresh wind on the south coast hardly warrants a dedicated thread surely?

    Why is there so much hype around this event? Everyone at work talking about it today as well when all I can see is a heavier than normal band of rain crossing the country :confused:

    Who's making a big deal about the thunderstorms? It's being mentioned as a possibility, however the issue here has always been the rain.

    To reply to others,

    It's not a big event, it's a yellow rainfall warning. I don't understand why anyone would think it's bigger than that.

    People are discussing this event as it's unusual for this time of year, and unseasonal. I'd also say the fact that people are inside because of the weather would increase posting.

    Mad that. Dry here in Ashford. Am looking at radar and it should have been lashing here for last while. And nada except a drop or two. Can anyone tell me why that is?
