Some scutter of a day here today

Started yesterday evening with a v heavy driving drizzle rain, real sticky sh1t.

The last 15days have be tough around here, I have stores in the 2nd driest field i have since Thursday,was in croker Sunday & twas a different sight Monday a.m, I was gone 36 hours.

August is rarely good around here

It's often a very disappointing month

Might be a storm coming Monday/Tuesday, time to camp out in the Weather forum for a few days.

Tis pissing down here in NW…..massive puddles on sides of the road and a real Winter air about it.

When are we due the next heatwave?🫣😎

7 straight days of fine weather promised here after today, it hasn't been a bad summer and people are still giving out

bogman_bass

it’s is hot today. Not a great week to be picking stones

Can only imagine a lot of lads down the country are getting second cut hay gathered up this week.

Was talking to a hay haulier yday and he was saying good round bales of hay are still going to be €50 delivered to NW.

Twasnt that long ago hay was €30-35 delivered to NW…….prices for cattle and sheep might be great but it’s all needed as costs of inputs have skyrocketed!

WoozieWu

it might be needed but hay isnt worth €50 in rounds

cheaper to feed grain

Got very little rain here in the last two weeks and it doesn't look like I'll be getting much in the next while. Started opening bales here yesterday.

thats gas… it made some flood here yesterday evening around 5 o clock… the rain was tipping away since around 11am.. plenty of thunder and lightning too.. but at around 5pm the heavens well and truly opened… little enough rain for the next 7 days thank god… things would messy right fast from here on in if the rain kept coming

Even our heavy ground is slowing now. Lighter ground starting to show scorching.
Closed up some ground for September silage and it’s shocking light.

Last Wed we had 37mm in a thunder downpour between 6-7pm, during the sane hour 15miles away they go 51mm, I know its not really relevant as its thunder rain.

As a comparison what fell here last weekend still hasn't dried, we've had no rain in 3 days & my driest field that I just mowed is sopping wet, the grass is like a wet carpet.

Ted it out 2mor & it will be fine, growth has been super but v soft underfoot

Dickie10

hopefully areas in East Midlands and east will get good growth in October and November when rain comes to make up for it

kk.man

Very little rain here in fact what came isn't worth talking about. Thought due would help but it isn't great. Cattle going through the rotations v fast. If it keeps up, it will be silage in days.

bogman_bass

wasn’t expecting the rain that fell here last night. Been drizzling most of the day since then. Will do my reseed no harm

davidk1394

Ground is like iron. Not much rain here since early August. Places are drier now than earlier in the summer. Could do with 5 or 6 inches of rain to get things moving

A load of zero grazing a day and few bales of silage and 5kg of meal. It rained a good but over night

White Clover

Good drop of rain here since Sunday. A good September is crucial in this area or it becomes a very early Winter.

SSame Round here on both scores see there's a good wet day for Sunday now too wasn't forecast for us .... then again there's lads begging for rain a few mile up the road

RockOrBog

It's been raining for 5 days and plenty more in the forecast for the next 7, with the day getting shorter some land will not dry properly again here this year

whelan2

Was at a soccer game in Dublin , the wind was unreal. Kick outs being blown back behind the goals. Great drying though

White Clover

Awful day here in the South West. Land is wet again. Forecast for the week isn’t great either.

Midwest. No rain yet today. Had some the last few days but feel like we have dodged a good bit of it.
