Ye really seem to get all the **** weather

Was supposed to to spraying this week. Think that's out

Would be relatively high rainfall here but the second half of this year has been bad enough. Must start measuring it. We seem to be at a spot where east of us ground and weather improves and us and west along is heavier and wetter. A few lads that measure rainfall locally have a difference of 250mm most years and are in the same parish, hardly a few miles as the crow flies

We've been getting a right doing down here in the past month. We have been getting everything out in the Atlantic brush the south and drown us.

Over the past 24 days, we had 8 days with over an inch of rain. 2 more on the way so that will be 10 in 26 days after Wednesday. Many of these days have been over 40mm. Huge variation in rainfall as mooooo says with north and East of us. Think we got off lightly in July/August when up the country was getting it worse, but payback's a b*tch.

No heard nothing

Grand dry day here with fine fresh breeze.... Oh wait that was yesterday.

Monsoon started early this morning and now water everywhere and no end in sight.

Horrendous day on any animals outside today in West Cork.

Windy and progressively wetter in West Connemara since around 11am, essential jobs done for the day, the only feeding I have left to do is with the stove.

davidk1394 · 17-10-2023 04:37PM

Fresh day here, very little rain here so far

Siamsa Sessions · 17-10-2023 05:33PM

Started spitting rain here at lunchtime and still the same. I was expecting worse but sure maybe it’s just delayed

Odelay · 17-10-2023 06:00PM

I’m west of you. It’s on its way.

whelan2 · 17-10-2023 06:27PM

Dry here so far. Windy.

awaywithyou · 17-10-2023 06:45PM

rain gauge showing 25mm rain since 9am today.... god knows what reading will be on it in the morning

Base price · 17-10-2023 06:49PM

Light rain in the last half an hour otherwise it was a great drying day - pity.

zetecescort · 17-10-2023 07:44PM

day of constant rain, drains managing alot better than the downpours we got with the orange warning from a few weeks ago.

Jb1989 · 17-10-2023 07:56PM

Just starting to drizzle in monaghan

Reggie. · 17-10-2023 08:06PM

Not much rain here in the midlands

whelan2 · 17-10-2023 08:49PM

Drizzling here now

Dozer1 · 18-10-2023 11:43AM

pure misery the last 24 hours, constant rain, more like Angela's Ashes weather...put in all the light stock yesterday evening

Mooooo · 18-10-2023 01:22PM

Floods on the roads

older by the day · 18-10-2023 01:49PM

maybe if you put it on a boat :)

Base price · 18-10-2023 03:48PM

Thankfully the rain wasn't that bad here. I still have the sucklers w/calves out and all the young dairyxbeef stock. We brought in a few cull cows and in calf heifers yesterday.

Dunedin · 19-10-2023 12:55AM

Absolute monsoon weather the past couple of days here in the midlands. Try not to panic putting them in but the way it’s looking, won’t get past the weekend.

Similar here, just have the suckler cows and calves in 36 hours. Store cattle will be in by the weekend. Might get the following week out of the dairy calves.

Nothing worse than packing a shed full of cattle on a wet day. I just opened up a few extra pens for space with the suckler cows and calves. It takes the pressure of the heat on them. Also hay is nice to give them when they come in if you have it

Siamsa Sessions · 19-10-2023 10:24AM

In Spain for a few days to see my brother, his wife, and their recent arrival. I’m standing for the child so couldn’t say no. But the rain and muck and cattle out in it at home is fairly prominent in my mind.

Stores will be into the shed and weanlings onto fodder rape when I’m back on Sunday.

Saw some of the pics of floods online. Hope ye’re all OK.
