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

Same over the border here in South Laois. Last night's "shower" was just 1.9mm. Hardly enough to keep the dust down.

We must be trapped in the same Nore valley vein. Although they had a huge shower last Saturday across north Kilkenny- dry as a bone in Kilkenny itself then. I was out in Durrow and road was covered in surface water through ballyragget

Heavy Rain in the Kildare Desert. Bliss

Danno

Ballyragget has got hit by a few showers over the past few days or so. Similar setup at the start of June too!

DOCARCH

Cell in Wicklow, near Tinahely, producing sparks now...and another cell near Roundwood too.

The Met Eireann app forecasts thunder for Dublin from around 10pm tonight, and on and off from then until maybe early morning.

Very very unlikely at this stage

Been good development in the last two hours over W Dublin. Radar showing to cells in the last frame or two. Don't think it's game over yet

Relying on this vort lobe to pump some action into Leinster this evening and tonight as SBCAPE is now waning. It might give a shot in the arm to the cells already established but to be honest I thought today would produce more in the way of lightning. Lots of nice towers all around me here and not moving anywhere but time, she waiteth not. Ah well

Little snowy old me

Torrential downpour near Lucan. And we have a rumble!

Another one looks to be building and heading down the M4 to you.

Gerry Murphy a few moments ago forecast activity to reignite onto the east coast during the night, following something of a lull in the late evening.

Desperately want to be woken up by loud thunder and blue flashes tonight on the east coast

DOCARCH

Looking at ME local forecast online for me, for Dublin 16, it says rain with thunder from 11pm tonight until 11am tomorrow!

DOCARCH

Ohhh....distant thunder in Dublin 16. Quite dark to my SW.

Rumble in S Dublin

Badabing

Rumble here in Tallaght now

PokeHerKing

A little rumble in the D24 jungle just there. Sky gone black.

DOCARCH

And another louder rumble now.

UrbanSprawl

Torrential rain and a few claps of thunder D22.
Its kicking off early!:)

Little snowy old me

Hearing those rumbles in Lucan.

DOCARCH

Another rumble heard.

RobertKK

A welcome 2.6mm of rain, won't complain, its better than 0.0mm, the heaviest rain in the thunderstorm seemed to go a little south of me.
It's the veggie path watered.

Mortelaro

I've been hearing rumbles for the last half hour down here in south Wicklow to my west and north

Danno

Good few strikes all around the south east the last few minutes - here's a handy link: https://www.lightningmaps.org/?lang=en#m=sts;t=3;s=0;o=0;b=64.35;ts=0;z=8;y=52.427;x=-6.651;d=2;dl=2;dc=0;
