    We had a few rumbles of thunder and a couple of flashes of lightning in the past 15 minutes. Hopefully it's the pre show before the main event!

    See that all evening also from down here in Arklow,it's quite frequent

    There are a few tiny showers to drift up overnight in the east that might make some noise but miniscule compared to what will cross north leinster/Ulster

    That is some show going on looking South over the Burren now towards Shannon, massive forks and happening so frequently, worth missing the Meteor shower for.
