Kermit.de.frog

After seeing that I guess hail is a potential disruption here when things get going.

There's always hope, after all some of us think the Irish football team might be good one day:D

Storm 10

Looking at the radar looks to be a good chance of some action later on in the East

Yes the occlusion arriving in the SE of Ireland is producing a lot of lightning in the Devon/Cornwall peninsula as well as convective outbreaks over west Wales as instability deepens. Looking good for the eastern 100 kms of Leinster anyway

Taking it's time eh, thought we would have seen lightning break out already from the SE. Still loads of time of course. Convective cloud building in the SE but cloud tops not particularly cold yet.

Even if people are further inland in Leinster it should still make for a good lighting show tonight.
Sometimes it nice to just sit outside with a beer and watch from a distance.
That's my plan for the night....

very hazy cloud now in Meath, but still lovely and warm, temperature 22C. I'm not sure i'll see any thunderstorms tonight here in Meath but we've had a great day with plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures and that's all I could ever ask for. Hopefully we get more days like today once we get the next 2 weeks of cool and unsettled weather out of the way. Second half of July and into August is still looking fairly promising.

Just north of Arklow here, skies nothing unusual but cloudy. Not threatening looking!

Just remember, the 2M distance is only a minimum.

EC 12z rolling out and giving a risk to much of the country bar the southwest. Interesting cell heading up east coast around 3am.

A long night ahead.

I get the feeling there will quite a few of us battle soldiers waiting up tonight into silly hours of the morning waiting for something to happen. With rare chances such as this even the possibility of a flash of lightning is enough to keep many up and witness a spectacle that is common in most parts of the world but a rare beauty in a country such as Ireland!

Few drops of rain in D24 right now. Noticeably cooler too.

Very similar sky here in the west. Brightens up now and again then gets threatening looking again for a while before breaking up again.

Risk for Cork city? I always hear south west or south east but Cork city is neither of those really so always wonder what the forecast is for us!

Saganist

Dead still in North Dublin, still quite warm, and the ants have to decided to take flight this evening also...

sweet_trip

Some lightening off the south-east coast of Rosslare, good bit out though.
