What's the weather like in your area 2

Tough night here. Strong gusts of wind and heavy showers of rain. Raining steadily since around 7pm yesterday evening.

Ground is like iron here. Can barely put a pigtail stake in the ground. I was discing ground yesterday, had a job to get it into the ground it was so dry.

Same around here. I only remarked to myself earlier in the week as the pigtails were all bending trying to get them into the ground that the place hasn’t been as dry and hard since 2018.

Mid west area we are not too bad here further west and north a completely swimming. We were supposed to avoid last night ...... but we got every bit of it. Well sick of this year but the quad isn't getting stuck in gaps yet 🙃 🙄

Friend 25 miles south of me begging for rain

Just like last winter where the south of the country was getting every last bit of rain that was going and the north was escaping relatively speaking. This summer nearly every band of rain has been travelling on a line from say Galway to Belfast and above

Alot of men have the cattle in the sheds around here, mine are going in the weekend, I have a field with a decent covering but I cant let them in on it as I couldnt even get the tractor on it to level the ruts from when they last came off it at the end of July. If I let them on it again they will have it tramped to shite so it will be left for the sheep.

I don't think we had four dry days in a row here since the end of June last year. The rain may not have been heavy at times but it rained all the same. I was traveling to Mullingar this morning for a 10am appointment and I noticed large numbers of swallows and house martins gathering on the telephone wires - I reckon they have given up on summer here and are heading on their holidays to sub Saharan Africa.

I'm worried about the spring barley straw crop. Most that I've seen around NCD, Meath and Kildare is still green at the stem and the straw is only about a foot high. Fingers crossed the weather improves in the next few weeks.

talking to a fisherman from dingle this morning he says a heat wave from September 2

Likewise. I’m in Mayo so good chance it was a different fisherman 🙂

Plenty of rain here overnight. I'd take another day of it if its coming. Ground is like iron.

I see that the forecast for next week is gone to the dogs. Could we not get one week of dry weather, too much to ask for i suppose, it’s fair sickening at this stage.

A smashing day yesterday. Up over 20°C during the middle of the day, nice morning again. A good bit of spring barley being cut around me.

Yeah only today and tomorrow looked guaranteed now

A cold sunny morning here. Wind during the night. Got a small bit of rain yesterday which was needed.
