Looks like a squall line forming from limerick down to kenmare

Very heavy rain this morning here near Tralee, haven't seen the bottom of the site and adjoining fields with so much water for years. Big thunderstorms went through early this morning, blustery but not too bad as of now.

Dreadful morning here in Waterford. Strong enough gusts (I'm about 10km inland from the coast) and driving rain. Definitely expect to see a few trees down after this.

Last night in Cork there was lightening at 3:30AM, and the heaviest rain I have ever seen. Fished and hiked all my life, been in some awful rain but that was the heaviest I have seen, last apprx 10mins. It was like being in a car wash.

Terrible day in Clonmel. The river Suir rose significantly last night, some roads and bridges are now impassible.

Absolutely horrendous here in co Meath and the back edge squall line yet to come in the next hour. Between rain and wind this system definitely deserved a storm name considering people on road journeys. If Theresa Manning did a report during this it would look as dramatic as any storm. Take care everyone

Beind that squall line there looks to be drier conditions coming in from the west, but Met Eireann have the heaviest rain for the east coast from 12-2. Is there another band of rain behind this one?

After a lovely day yesterday here in Wicklow its hard to see out the window today. Dreadful morning.

Yeah it's gotten wild enough here at Rathdrum in the past half hour or so. Strong gusts and driving rain but it isn't too heavy so far. Looking at the radar that's about to change soon though.

Would you mind describing what you're seeing for the fascinated but clueless like myself?

My recessed balcony here in Dublin is watering itself, with containers nearly taking off.

Not a techy. Usually when I see clouds like those on the right that are round, tall and like bubbles it's usually a sign of convection. Convection can mean thunder storms. I prefer my thunderstorms at night.

Someone else might be able to explain it better

This might help

Another "spasm" of high loud winds and torrential deluge here.

Littlest cat somehow had managed to sneak out, probably seeking PEACE and I had to find her. And please take care as it is ...shocking ...out there...

North east pelting down and driven by strong gusty winds up to 80km/h. It should blow through in a couple of hours max.

Still plenty when you look SW of Dublin. Could get heavier.

Darwin

Torrential downpour and very squally winds for about 10 minutes here (SW Laois), just passed through. I had some work done on the flashing around an skylight yesterday, hope it holds out as the rain was unbelievably heavy.

ESB networks have gone ahead with scheduled works and we have no electricity. I can’t believe they didn’t reschedule. Stuck at home with no power and can’t go anywhere in this. Can’t even work. Bah!

Curtains closed! My modular home is lovely but does nothing to deaden the noise of bad weather.. A dozen drummers drumming...But as someone verywise used to say" This too shall pass."

Just spotted our local postman is out delivering post. I think he left the van as he usually does at the end and walks each street. Not a day for it. 😨

You would really have to wonder about this weather. We have had weeks of serious rain and wacky temperatures and now this on top of it. Mad stuff.

Getting wild now in Kildare.
