    We're under a rather large thunderstorm right now. Multiple lightning and thunder. Very very heavy rain. Dark.

    It cane up from a South Easterly area and is heading North West. Up towards Fermanagh/Sligo area.

    Ballinamore, Leitrim.

    Looking very unlikely for Dublin, storms are developing inland and drifting SW.

    Couple of rumbles in the far distance from Rathdrum in Wicklow but most of the activity is to the west. No rain here so far wonder might we escape it again? Seems to be all to West of the mountains

    In East Sligo, it's been raining heavily for the last 15 minutes or so. Very dark for the last while before the rain, sitting here with the lights on in the middle of the day

    The storm near Ferns was epic and ongoing

    At thestart it was like driving down coastal florida and then we hit it south of Camolin

    Multiple multiple cg strikes

    M11 was flooded never mind the side roads

    This storm is still building here.

    The way it's looking like it's going to build into a county wide size storm.

    I thought it was moving away to the south when I watched that storm from a distance. But it seems to have become stationary and is spreading and growing.

    That's looking at it from Kilmuckridge to Killenagh Road, doesn't seem to be moving towards coastal area, slight east wind probably keeping it away. My garden was still badly waterlogged at the weekend so hopefully stays West of me 🤞

    Yeah a bit of a supercell now,back filling/building on its northern end too

    Ive returned to Arklow where the suns out,it was dry from just south of Gorey northwards but could see the forking lightning inland still

    Quite an incredible sight

    It actually reminde me of a drive from orlando to miami some years ago where it was dry on the coastal highway but you could see multiple cg's inland to the west and as you drove south ,we drove into hhe storm near fort lauderdale beacause further south it had built outwards towards the coast

    Same is happening with this little mcs,or msybe the lightning has me gone mad ?😂

    Carlow weather has hailstones in Castledockrell and flooding in Ballycarney.

    I'm west of all that and it's raining here. Not mad yet. But the thunder is constant to my east and south now.

    A bit worrying to be honest.

    Damage is getting done on people.

    Even thinking of some solar farms and potential for hail damage.

    I thought the precipitation radar was broken based on how stationary all of the storms are. 😂

    Oh I was driving on an errand down that way,thats actually why I was down, there there were fields white with hail and fields completely under water and all this happened in less than an hour and waa ongoing as we left

    The rain rates must have been very very high and I mean in the two hundreds or more by my estimation

    I’m not confident here in Mid Tipp even though we are under an orange warning. The sun has made no appearance today in this neck of the woods and it’s a cool feeling 16 degrees

    I’ve noticed the airflow has changed from ne off the cold sea to sw in Dublin ( cyclonic variable) over the last hour or two, this is a big change so perhaps a storm later?

    Near constant rain and thunder between Fethard and Enniscorthy for the last few hours, must be some fierce flooding in the region.

    Between Hook head and Kilmore Quay atm. Very dark north of me with no defined storm area. Looking at the radar I will miss it. Beautiful day yet rain so close. Loads of loud rumbles. Too sunny to see the flashes

    No I don't think so, but the way it was building up at the time it wouldn't suprise me if it dropped one soon after. I had to head off just after I took the picture. 😕
