    Still nothing on the Wicklow Dublin border. And looking at the radar, I'm not expecting anything either.

    Its on the way

    It's out at sea. Saw a couple of flashes here in D13 (Ayrfield) but not heard thunder.

    AROME and WRF depicted the reality of what happened very well. Despite those rubbishing them earlier hours before the forecasts were valid.

    County Galway. Lightning flashing away pretty much every second now but thunder more distant. Wasn't expecting this so I am spinning around like a headless duck.

    Just heard a rumble here in Bray

    Ditto

    Its SSW of us. Lots of flashes in the distance over the southern Wicklow Mountains


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,827 ✭✭✭fred funk }{


    Haven't seen rain like that in a while. Monsoon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,071 ✭✭✭dakar


    Strobing madly here in Sligo for the last 10 mins. Dense cloud lighting up every 2-3 seconds. Thunder very distant and indistinct. Rain getting very heavy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11 Thunderlover


    A few weak flashes near Enniskerry. No thunder. The mountains are killing the storms advancing further north. Dublin won't get anything apart from a few sparks from distant storms over the sea.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,326 ✭✭✭Blingy


    Just heard a rumble here in Bray

    Same In Greystones


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,235 ✭✭✭Oneiric 3


    Just looked at Met radar and what a joke. A a handful of random flashes thrown over a large area? it was constant and pretty much overhead for over half an hour and still flashing away as it is.
