The weather has been pretty awful this week but nobody could deny that it has led to some spectacular sights.
Take, for example, the fork lightning that hit Piltown in Co Kilkenny last night. This shot was captured by JOE.ie reader James Conway.

And Kilkenny wasn’t the only spot that was battered by the rain, thunder and lightning. Here’s a snap that was taken in Waterford.

There were also electrical storms across the United Kingdom this week. This photograph shows somewhere in Wales.
