    Torrential rain with constant thunder in this clip a short time ago here near Tralee. Temp right down to 12.5C now. Got windy under the cell during the heavy rain and hail, could see the cloud base swirling a bit. Coming up on 25 mm now since midnight, 19 mm in about an hour. Had a rain rate of 51 mm an hour.

    Still have thunder and lightning, heavy rain just starting again.

    Seems to be picking plenty on it's outer ranges - probably because it's heavy rain & high up

    Incredible thunderstorm here in SW Donegal at the moment, floods everywhere


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,914 ✭✭✭✭Discodog


    The Northern half of the country seems to be getting it this time

    Any danger of that energetic activity over Wales giving the Dublin region some fun?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 420 ✭✭Little snowy old me


    By the looks of things, there will be nothing for Dublin or the east coast today or over the next few days.
