    I just drove down the M18 from Galway. That was an experience 😳

    Don't think I ever saw Galway so dark constant booming thumder and lightning over the Bay, the one day I could not sit on the prom and watch it

    Shows over here, best thunder experience for me in many years, will remember that for a long time.

    Have a weather station?, why not join the Ireland Weather Network - http://irelandweather.eu/

    Ridiculous thunder and lightening at Tracht beach, Kinvara about an hour ago. Came out of nowhere. We had to leave once there was a strike beside us, could feel it hit it was that close.

    a belter of a t-storm in east clare with a downpour😮 to match

    Does Thundersnow beat regular Thunder and Lightning in weather poker?

    storm firing away near Thurles atm.

    Jealous of those getting the intense Thunderstorms, why be so selfish in keeping them to yourselves:)

    That was unreal! Wow. What a treat we've had with the weather this week. The temp dropped to 17 degrees during that storm. Temp starting to climb again slowly. Wonder if that storm over Birr or Thurles will make it across?



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,913 ✭✭✭Danno


    Impressive hail just north of Durrow at 3pm



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,670 ✭✭✭monty_python


    Sorry if it's been asked already but what's the chance of this hitting dublin later tonight??



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,799 ✭✭✭sunbeam


    Thunder and power just gone here in Achill.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 11,766 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Intense line moving across S Limerick heading towards N Kerry, Loop head direction, some cells firing up in N Kerry.

    Big Temperature drop in the W , about 9C drop down from 28C in Shannon

    Possible tornado outside Thurles around 1hr ago, Twomileborris side! 😲😲😲



  • Registered Users Posts: 522 ✭✭✭glightning


    That's a beast of a cell that's just fired up off the NW tip of France.

    Also, interesting tight circulation in the North Sea this afternoon



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,998 ✭✭✭nomdeboardie


    Your username makes me think there might be a Python character who asks that question (to which the answer will always be the same - "None") 😌

    For some reason, I like to torment myself by having lightningmaps.org open in the background with the sound on...somewhere in the back of my deluded mind I think that when I click back to the graphics I'll see that the hits are approaching Dublin 😬



  • Registered Users Posts: 522 ✭✭✭glightning


    Sat animation seems to be showing the latest Irish cells losing their juice. Can see orphan anvils occurring (i.e. the updrafts are disappearing just leaving the anvil behind)



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,339 ✭✭✭The One Doctor


    Looks like that action earlier was an MCS. Satellite shows organised supercells.



  • Registered Users Posts: 522 ✭✭✭glightning


    Certainly similar. At the least a very well organised multi-cell. Clouds tops are warming on the sat image animation now, so it appears to have lost it's energy. Probably due to rapid cooling at the surface according to reports of temps dropping to the teens.



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 11,766 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    After getting dark here near Tralee, some rain now with big drops, wind picked up in the last 20 mins, multi directional and cooling down to 22.7C now , was 26C a short time ago.



  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,946 Mod ✭✭✭✭igCorcaigh


    Those possible thunderstorms this evening on the South Coast, will they come in off the sea or from inland?



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 11,766 Mod ✭✭✭✭Meteorite58


    Still a lot of CAPE potential tonight, looks like rain approaching the coast with the aid of convergence might produce a few sparks, probably low risk, might not amount to much.

    Can hear distant thunder here, think it is from the storm off Kerry Hd

    Ah I'm dissapointed at how close I was today yet saw very little. Was in Ennis earlier and saw some flashes and heard loud thunder, but no cigar, back in West Clare for the showers that passed over and missed the majority of it, just heard a few rumbles and seen a few flashes again.


    The temperature difference was crazy, dropped about 8°c in 20 minutes. High of 30.6°c (5:05pm) in West Clare today, currently 19.5°c, over 11°c in a little over 2 hours.
