In Pictures: Thunderbolt and Lightning Very Very Frightening over Ireland This Morning

Stay inside... but maybe keep your camera by the window.

Rebecca McKnight

As the rain buckets down, we feel it’s our duty to remind you that this weekend last year was one of the summer’s best. 

While we line up our welly boots and rain macs and pray Marlay Park doesn’t wash away before Longitude starts, others are looking on the bright side and snapping some incredible pictures. There’s always a silver lining… or a lightning bolt.

Some of the finest so far have been shared by the good Corkonians behind the Facebook page Best Photos of Baltimore Ireland.

Absolutely beautiful.
