Raining and windy and cold

No dust here this morning

See another week of frosty nights ahead, that’s killing grass growth round these parts.

mayota

Heavy rain North Mayo.

Starting here in East Clare. Wind picking up and rain starting.
How bad is it going to get?

Reggie.

Jaysus its freezing out

Mooooo

First morning of driving rain and a full crush on the western side of sheds for AI. Wouldn't mind only I spent half the morning trying to get close to one of a set of twins that out with a cow as she had hurt her back to bring the lot in. Fcuker took off and can't find him now. Cow will have to stay there now in the hope the little bollix comes back

Awful night and early morning here in NW, sun just coming out now bringing a small bit of warmth, was half thinking of bringing the cows and calves back in, really don't want to but we'll see how the day pans out.

I used to be that soldier. Set up a calving paddock. Sheep wire and electric fence. Good gates to get them into yard. No way to escape.

Spread nitrogen on spring barley for a lad yesterday that was on its last legs sowed the week after easter looking very good to day.

Say my name

Only for the pubs are closed ye'd be all drove to drink!! :rolleyes:

Weather may improve around the 12/13th.

Unfortunately it may go back after to a low pressure with a northerly wind after that interlude. But you'd be thinking the year is so far gone there'd have to be some heat somewhere.

Sunny day here but a cold wind. Hard to believe it's May.

Powerful morning here in north kildare as my father would say

Western Pomise

Saw there the last time I commented on the weather I was saying the climate has changed....Winters and Springs wetter.

This is definitely the case..... was topping fields here at weekend and was just about able to get around on some without doing damage.Tens years ago at this time of the year you would sail around the same fields without leaving a mark.

Was cold and wet most of April here and very cold still in mornings and evenings in the Whest.

Same here at the moment but we put out slurry a month ago not leaving a mark

Shocking wet here in Cork today, thunder showers that went on and on.

Nobbies

Big harvest needed i believe. Couple of lads told me their pits are empty for the 1st time in a number of years. Could be at least a little indicative of the situation in some areas

Young lad was out running in it. I didn't know which way he was gone so couldn't collect him. He was very wet when he came home

Say my name

Was a day of very close by thunder and lightning strikes.
Knocked out the broadband for a small while and a neighbours phone line altogether.

Had a heart in mouth moment checking heifers across the road as I surely thought they were hit. All good anyway.

It looks as though drier warmer weather might be on the way for the second half of next week but loads of rain to come before that unfortunately.

It never ceases to amaze me how different weather conditions can be over a sustained period in such a small country!
You could have farmers in the midlands or sunny south East crying out for rain in the Summer while at the same time farmers on the Western seaboard can barely get around wet meadows to get silage made.

The water table is quite high here in Mayo for this time of year.....when it rains it pours quite literally!!
Saw a neighbour getting farmyard manure put out on a usually dryish field yday and you could see the track of where wheels ran indenting the ground .

Mooooo

Belters of showers every day, sickening enough hardly get a chance to top up tail paint replace scratchcards not a mind the chance to mow or spray...
