Convective/Thunderstorm Discussion : Spring/Summer 2020

Tzardine

Couple of strikes around Monasterevin/Kildare.

Dogs are not impressed at all.

Kutebride

Thunder followed by torrential rain in Meath. The noise of it.

Cell over Meath looking NW from clondalkin

Doctor Jimbob

Facing north from Carlow Town, assume that's somewhere over Kildale.

Kutebride

Flash floods for sure.

Raining for the last hour or more in East Cork, near Midleton, quiet heavy at times. Thunder has moved on but air still feels heavy so more to come tonight I imagine

Rumbling here between Naas and Kilcullen

Knowing where you are, and the orientation, that's probably the 'stuff' over Meath/Navan.

Lots of thunder from the cell over southern Laois

Yes we're on the kk Laois carlow border and just had fantastic booms of thunder and torrential rain, but no hail like yesterday. The kids love it.

Temperature reached 19.9C, wind picked up and thunder rumbling to my east towards the Kilkenny/Carlow border, surely this has to hit me... :pac:

So many storms went south and north of me, teasing me with lightning, but no rain.

Looking West - from SouthEast Kildare earlier.
Who knows what the evening might bring

RobertKK

Direct hit incoming, so happy...near constant thunder at the moment.

Anyone know if Dublin will get something or nothing?

King of Spades

Just on the edge of a thunderstorm in Tara, meath. Lots of thunder but rain passing to the west. Skys look dark to the north too so maybe more on the way.

spookwoman

Got this when heading out to the car at about 15.30, looking about west towards passage east waterford. Was gone in a few mins

RobertKK

Satellite has stopped working for the past few minutes, large drops of rain starting to fall, thunder rumbling, very black sky to the east.

Davaeo09

Just outside Kilkenny city on an east facing hill. Watched and hoped all day I would get some action but it seems to have just stalled near Ballyfoyle/Castlewarren guessing that area got allot of rain.

I am still hoping the heat is enough to kick some thing into life

Very very unlikely at this stage

Sky going very dark here now, D11

From where i am can see 2 or 3 more cells developing NNE of that kilkenny one, was one shooting up over waterford, gave one flash but seems to have stalled

Little snowy old me

I could be wrong but the sky is looking like its building into something good in West Dublin. And a swirling little breeze has gotten up in the last few minutes. You just never know.....

Is there some kind of rain shield around Kilkenny? The place is absolutely parched and we’ve had several days of thunder/heavy rain all around us, we keep escaping most of it.
Same this evening. Can hear the thunder to the east but warm and sunny here still

Gamma Flash

Yeah, i know, i think once the wife is home going to hit the road northeast, big cauliflower going up now between new ross and enniscorthy
