Raining here all am, met eir getting it totally wrong again today, wet since Saturday

Lovely morning here and yesterday was a fantastic day and met eireann had given cloudy and heat showers for yesterday. Got it totally wrong.
I'm delighted baking up another batch of hay today. Cut last Thursday. Baled today. Never got a drop of rain even though there was showers not too far away.

Been a great day so far.
Few batches of cloud going over but it's mostly sunny and was showing 23c in the jeep earlier. I'd say it's the last nice day for the kids before they go back to school.
Seen a few bits heading towards Virginia for the show, looking wet for the show tomorrow.

Same as. Have 2 acres ready to stitch. Was like concrete yesterday. This will make things more workable.

Was aerating yesterday so at least the rain has somewhere to go

Bucketing down here as well. It's needed for the grass though. Haven't had a drop in /2-3 weeks.

Grueller · 19-08-2015 07:53AM

Spilling here too. Looks like the record of medecines will get done along with calling to see the contractor to settle up for a bit of reseeding last week.

Its unreal the difference in the weather in this tiny country, makes a joke of the idea that you can do the weather on radio.since the end of june we have had pure s##t weather-foggy mucky wet weather with very ocasional breaks.there was a small bit of hay saved last week and before that a little in june but we had barely weather to make silage and have been long periods when you couldnt make that either.

WheatenBriar · 19-08-2015 09:55AM

Aye raining here in E Wicklow too
You'd want a sledge to dtive down metal electric fence stakes here the grounds so hard

whelan2 · 19-08-2015 09:56AM

Have seen two baling outfits go to the axle round here in the last week, weather is a funny and sometimes cruel thing

There is nothing worse than seeing post from ye up the country saying "that days rain was nice." Whereas down here along the coast is of Cork and Kerry we have had 6 weeks of fair Sh1t weather with about one proper half week for making decent silage. Even at that, ground got torn up.

We might have the growth in spring, but we generally don't have the ground conditions to utilise it.

selectamatic · 19-08-2015 09:20PM

If you're not beside the coast or near enough the midlands ya have neither growth nor trafficability at that time of year :P

selectamatic · 19-08-2015 09:22PM

Was very surprised with how mild today was round here considering the forecast. Granted there was a dash of rain in the morning but I would genuinely say monday was a worse day round these parts than today.

whelan2 · 20-08-2015 06:36PM

very warm today up to 22 degrees. A few small showers

whelan2 · 22-08-2015 06:37PM

overcast and warm

WheatenBriar · 22-08-2015 06:45PM

Dull in east wicklow all day and had about 2hrs heavy rain in the afternoon
The rest of the rain is lurking in the Irish sea to give the east a drenching in the next 24hrs as it spreads westwards
Yes theres rain for all spreading from the east soon

have2flushtwice · 22-08-2015 09:38PM
