Yes spilling rain in Mountmellick and Portlaoise also I believe.

Some thunder also.

Portweather · 13-08-2022 6:25pm

Thunderstorm from Portarlington. Looks to be breaking up

pad199207 · 13-08-2022 6:26pm

Quite a lot of non stop thunder for over an hour here . No rain though , Portlaoise.

lord lucan · 13-08-2022 6:47pm

Bone dry in Portarlington and the sun is back out behind that bank of cloud,was hoping for an almighty thunder storm.

flazio · 13-08-2022 7:45pm

Radar suggests the Slieve Blooms are getting some Slieve Booms. Seen some high clouds looking that direction from Ballinasloe.

spookwoman · 13-08-2022 7:59pm

One near Charleville kicking off now. Quite a high cloud as well

Gaoth Laidir · 13-08-2022 8:07pm

Comhrá · 13-08-2022 8:18pm

Some towers going up now, (20.15) to the east and south of Limerick City.

bad2thebone · 13-08-2022 8:18pm

Getting cloudy now near Lough Bunny Co Clare not sure if we're too inland.

Shpongler · 13-08-2022 8:28pm

Some dodgy clouds to the northeast of here, North Kerry

Rikand · 13-08-2022 8:48pm

That storm over portlaoise looked amazing from athlone. Cloud tops just bubbled up so high. Structure was class. Really looking forward to tomorrow, might get to do some chasing

waterways · 13-08-2022 8:49pm

long shadows at 8pm

mcburns07 · 13-08-2022 9:20pm

Some showers heading for the Cork coast

fryup · 13-08-2022 9:31pm

Gremlinertia · 13-08-2022 9:31pm

Activity with a lot of rumbling north tipperary

cherryghost · 13-08-2022 9:33pm

Lots of thunder and lightning here in Longford. No rain

typhoony · 13-08-2022 9:44pm

I can see flashes a long way off from the storm over Portumna direction

Comhrá · 13-08-2022 9:50pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119469697#Comment_119469697

Ah now, most of us would settle for a few claps of good loud thunder and a couple of bolts of lightning at this hour of the day... 😉

Your expectations are a bit high for a Saturday evening!

fryup · 13-08-2022 9:52pm

^^^

not this evening but lets say...the next few days? even a funnel cloud would suffice

road_high · 13-08-2022 10:09pm

Distant flashes over Kilkenny now- north of here looks like laois direction

road_high · 13-08-2022 10:10pm

Not sure the technical term but orange cloud lightning

squonk · 13-08-2022 10:16pm

Been watching lightening from that thundershower over the Shannon/Tipp/South Galway from here in north Clare. Lots of lightening from it in the cloud high up. Fairly good light show!

bad2thebone · 13-08-2022 10:46pm

Where in north Clare are you, you must be high up in the burren are you?

What site is that image from?

squonk · 13-08-2022 11:27pm

I’m near Lahinch. There was another lightening storm around Kim sea so perhaps I saw that. At the time I posted though the only action was ieast Clare and Tipp. There was a very tall storm cloud I could see. The lightening was within that. I’d be well impressed if it was all the way over in east Clare and Tipp actually.

bad2thebone · 13-08-2022 11:36pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119470094#Comment_119470094

I thought that would be possible but I was told that our area wouldn't be good for watching those storms. I often have seen good lightening shows around mulloghmore near fr Ted's house, but I'd be watching from that hill in Corofin near Lough Inchiquinn. There's a kind of funnel there and the cloud's are always different looking eastwards

squonk · 13-08-2022 11:41pm

I think it was the height off the cumulonimbus clouds in this case. Also, I’ve moved recently so have a clear view east. All that helps I think.

DumbBrunette · 13-08-2022 11:53pm

I went out to watch the moon rise here near Westport and got more than I bargained for! Frequent lightning from that storm over SE Galway around 10.30pm, followed by a few strikes from the storm over Longford.

Both cells were over 100km away but the cloud structure of the storms could be clearly seen.

Coupled with the rising orange moon, Jupiter and a late Perseid meteor, it was a memorable evening :)

pad199207 · 14-08-2022 12:00am

That sea area forecast on Radio 1was something else

“Increasingly unstable Airmass leading to intense convection”

Rougies · 14-08-2022 12:15am

Met.ie language also quite juicy for tomorrow.

"A few isolated heavy showers and thunderstorms may develop throughout the day, but they will increase in coverage through the later afternoon and evening. The most intense slow-moving deluges, will cause some spot flooding and intense lightning"

Neddyusa · 14-08-2022 1:19am

Great view of 3 out of the 4 in Athlone too!

Lots of flashes, and a crazy moon! But too cloudy for the persoids

highdef · 14-08-2022 2:36am

Multiple cells firing up now, one to my West and one to my north. Also seeing a good few meteors overhead. Jesus, I'll never get to sleep! in a Longford, BTW ol

Dazler97 · 14-08-2022 2:52am

Loads of thunder and lightning in distance from Carrick on Shannon
