Is the rain showing on the rainfall radar on met.ie in Offaly and Westmeath in the last hour heavy?
It's heading straight for here, so much for a dry day today.

Not really. Just a heavy mist. Not really drying much here atm

Rained here for an hour at lunchtime, not overly heavy but could have done without it all the same. Tedded the silage twice since and waiting on the baler now. It dried out fairly well since.

If you're in for the same day, you did the right thing to get it in last night Whelan...

Unreal weather for this time of year, cows are happy out!Unfortunately my phone is hopping out of my pocket with farmer's ringing me every two minutes to go and cut their silage.

Left a sunny ncd at midday to collect youngest and all his gear from Galway. Heavy showers around Enfield and Athlone. Just back and have the barbecue lighting. Steak and beer for dinner.

All the major food groups, steak AND beer:D


Warm but dull day here, a few showers but nothing too heavy. We're supposed to be shearing tomorrow but the forecast isn't looking good for that so will just get the yard sorted for it and see how the morning looks before deciding.

Yeah, same here. Heavy shower at 9 last night and grass wet this morning so called off for the week I think.

I'm not sure whether to be happy that there is enough rain to perk up growth or pi$$ed off that it's too wet to shear.

Dry all day here:(

Serous rain here also in the last 24hrs, made grazing tricky enough, high covers aren't helping! Let the cows on sooner than normal both grazings today, was going to have to top them paddocks anyways, no point poaching to try get the last bit of grass off.

We seem to exist in some sort of dry vortex here. Rain seems to fall 4 or 5 miles from us but we seem to be missing the most of it.
