Just confirming previous reports of thunder and lightening throughout the afternoon. Ballycastle (North Antrim coast) and Belfast. Still persistent rain and the odd quiet rumble.

Looking at the radar we could be in for some more after dark....heres hoping!

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the first 3 cracks of thunder sound overdubbed onto the film, particularly the second and third ones - infact the third one is definetly fake, I'm sure of it.

Not really a storm but heavy rain for 10 minutes and a rumble of thunder.

I was just going by what the Met office rainfall radar was showing...not the best measure I am sure but a girl has got to get hope from somewhere.

A bit late this post, but there certainly was quite an intense t-storm here (just north of Belfast) between 2.30-4pm yesterday with frequent, predominantly sheet, lightning and a lot of thunder. The rain at one point was torrential turning roads into rivers in minutes. Impressive squall line just ahead of the storm which i took some pictures of - will try and post them later if I can work out how to.

Thought i would add just a couple more pics i got yesterday:

[Gorky]

Just had a loud crash of thunder and a bright flash of lightning which came with the start of a huge downpour here.

[dee88]

just had a very loud rumble of thunder here and a flash. and again very heavy rain

[MP-R]

Had three short-lived showers here, not very heavy, but with one rumble of thunder after each. All the heavy stuff is centered over Wales at the mo.

A short thunderstorm only lasting bout 10 minutes this eveing but some thundery rain before that
