looking like a direct hit

Supercell

Nice big flash of lightning followed by thunder herein Loughlinstown, have a feeling the next couple of hours are going to be interesting

John.Icy

Attempt #112 over the last few years for a storm to healthily make it over the Wicklow Mts. and give Dublin a proper bash. Stay tuned.

EDIT: Echo the thoughts on the MetE radar. Absolutely chronic across mutliple devices. So slow and laggy.

The thunder and lightning over Rathdrum here was very intense for about 15 minutes. Lost power a couple of times and the glass in one window made a big cracking sound. Biblical rain falling now.

Lots of thunder on the Wicklow coastline, will this magically lose all it's thunder and lightning before reaching Meath and Dublin I wonder.

DOCARCH

On the DART just after Bray. Lots of flashing cloud and can hear the thunder over the noise of the train!

Two strikes near house, walls literally started shaking. First time I remember that happening

highdef

I'd be very concerned for the likes of Arklow and Gorey, maybe Wicklow town. Apart from the copious amounts of lightning, rain rates are at flash flood levels. The nearby mountains will not help the situation at all

Nice flash of lightning in D16 now with a loud clap of thunder

beansie

Near constant thunder and lightning with torrential rain in Newtownmountkennedy. House is rattling with the thunder.

Agree. Performance on the rainfall radar is deeply frustrating and very slow

Stephen_Maturin

Couple of flash and rumbles here near Ringsend

Captain_Crash

Constant thunder in Dublin 18 now, yet to see a flash but the clouds are very much alive

adocholiday

That major band of thunder and lightning seems to have passed the Rathdrum area now. Still raining hard but the intensity is gone out of it.

Supercell

Massive boom overhead, literally sounds like the clouds ripping, never heard one so loud, brilliant stuff!

esposito

Getting frequent thunder and lightning now. D16

DOCARCH

Definitely seems to be Dublin bound. In Dalkey atm and lightning/thunder close.

lightning around Dublin. Have just seen why! Tons of it around Wicklow

I’ll rephrase this post, constant lightning on show now! This has me excited!

bennyx_o

One flash in D5 a few mins ago and a couple of claps of thunder since

A lot of aircraft holding west of storm activity

Flash and heavy rumble Dublin 6

DOCARCH

Lightning/thunder pretty much overhead in Dunlaoghaire.

Feels like I am storm chasing by train!

Elmer Blooker

you know it’s close when you see a flash during daylight.

Getting closer now, very long rumble after what looked like a double flash but not sure it happens so quickly?

BLIZZARD7

Frequent rumbles of thunder now for the past while in D14 ! Seems to be getting more intense

spoonerhead

Mental in D12…

esposito

Unreal thunder and lightning! Hopefully more tonight.

DOCARCH

Jaysus. Right overhead in Seapoint! Some crack!

sparrowcar

Getting louder and closer to swords

And just up the road in D8 (only a couple of hundred metres from the D12 border), it's just very dull with light rain and I can just make out a rumble of thunder every couple of minutes. Windows are closed, obviously.

pad199207

Flashes overhead Haddington Rd

AndyBoBandy

Plenty of activity here in Rush, NCD.

Elmer Blooker

Jaysus , that was a triple flash and I’m not exaggerating!

circadian

Yeah a fair few flashes and big claps in north Dublin.

BLIZZARD7

Thunder and lightning overhead now - D14

Larbre34

Just hearing the first distant rumbles to the east here in Dublin 15.

My friends in North Wexford got absolutely pummelled over the last few hours.

ciaran76

Thunder and lightning in Swords a few minutes ago.

pad199207

Massive flash now overhead Rathmines

Double flash D6

Artane2002

Thunder and lightning in DCC but nothing special.

DOCARCH

Right over Sandymount now.

Most exciting DART journey in a very long time! :-)

ATC busy!

dsmythy

South East approach helped save us some action. Here trying to turn my daughter's fear into excitement. Failing.

snowgal

what is with the ME Radar, the one day!!

nothing special? Are you serious?

Its right overhead, it’s been a very very long time since I’ve experienced a storm like this! July 19 last was a thundery shower compared to this!
