    I'm going to set a gofund me page for forecasts!!

    Mist or Bangers that'll be the take home message now from cold fronts.
    And no real forecast predicts mist!

    But it's still looking lively for wex/wicklow tomorrow morning for thunderstorms according to the met office.

    If it gets a good wetting does that destroy hay? We’re you better let it dry and wrap it?

    Really good drying weather after I wouldn't worry about it. Different if we were heading for poor weather then just wrap it and it will be grand

    Once off no it is continuous rain that is the issue. Another trick making hay is leave it in the rows for 3 days. It will save away. If it rains on the rows the grass will not get damaged.as the rain will run off. Turn it out out then on really sunny weather I have got away with turning it out rowing it and baling using this methid
