Nothing in Rathfarnham yet. Very dark sky’s though, absolutely amazing sunset framed by angry looking clouds.

That cell over Tallaght/Clondalkin looks pretty great from my angle (close to James’s Hospital).

Carrigkerry in West Limerick at about 20:20...A huge cell came from Ennis via Shannon, transited the Shannon Estuary and hit us directly in Carrigkerry, West Limerick.

Yes was watching that cell from a field near Dromcollogher it looked very impressive. I said to a person with me Ardagh and Carrigkerry must be right in the firing line.
I was dead on

Spectacular show of thunder and lighting in tipp again this evening and nearly half an inch of rain has fallen

Unfortunately that shower just to west of Dublin hasn't really kicked off in any way, although it did lead to some very dramatic looking skies.



The thunderstorm from Clare is well visible on the European map, I would have loved to have experienced it!

Track of the heavy rainfall today, and record of sferics detected so far since 10.00( these would be just a fraction of the real amount of electrical discharges )

All fizzled out...
Here's hoping for epic storms tomorrow!

It was horrendous but much needed rain did fall which will please the farmers in the Banner county. Between half six and close to 8 o clock I counted over 20 flashes of lightening.

In Ennis where I live the rain was not the main story at all. I’d say around 15 mm did fall. But the lightening was the main feature. Jeez it was the most spectacular spectacle that I’ve ever witnessed in all my life time here in Clare’s county town. It was so glazing and not even the Sydney opera house new year firework celebrations would come close to that hour and a half period that will live long in my memory.

Don’t know about the story regarding power outrages here but certainly a significant weather event did take place here in Clare if the both the satellite and rainfall and lightening radars are to be believed.

On a separate note I really continue to enjoy this thread. Certainly one of or if not the best threads on boards. Keep up the great work. In particular the knowledge of some posters is most impressive. Brilliant stuff.

anyone know if dublin will see any action tomorrow?

Gaoth Laidir

Inland Leinster finally gets it day tomorrow. Moderate southeasterly upper flow over slack lower flow generates around 20 knots of shear, slightly less than today. Good lapse rates generating decent CAPE, though not as high as some parts of the west over the past few days.

A strong sea breeze convergence line sets up, so with the Wicklow mountains we should see some real towers shooting up from late morning. Weak steering flow means slow-moving showers and surface water. Still hit and miss, so some places will escape while others get repeated coverage.

If someone in the east gets rain tomorrow, could they capture a quick video of it and post it on here? I just want remember what it looks like.

Currently pouring in Cork City - no thunder and lightening action yet though

Almost surprised there wasn’t lightening accompanying that shower in Cork City. Extremely heavy.

I'm hoping for Wednesday.
All the sparky action seems to be more inland.

Teeming now though, badly needed.

Absolutely. And I was expecting some rain today but I went for a walk at half eight in a tshirt and it was glorious. But yeah I'm not against a drop of rain.

Oh I hope so. It seems like the potential seems to be too inland for the city? If I could drive, I'd go storm chasing!
