The vast majority of people aren't farmers so it won't affect us, i really couldn't care less if the fields turned yellow as they will get green again in the winter.
Everyone depends on farmers, the whole world depends on farmers. We have enough economic problems on this island without weather making it worse.Well my granda is a farmer and hes moaning about the rain. No one wants rain and thats it.
No one wants rain? From reading these forums there are plenty who are happy for some rain.
Rain at the moment means less hardship, over on the farming forum, there are some who are feeding some of their winter feed to animals because the lack of rain has virtually stopped grass growth.
There are places where there is water restrictions, lots of people are happy for some rain, no one wants rain for months on end like last year.
We had a lot of dry weather, everything in moderation but the dry spell has been overdone, time for change.
It really is the time to be singing in the rain, enjoy it, the dry weather was nice but seeing everything freshening up with the rain is even better.
The cows like their showers too

Lots of people want rain. At least half of this thread are happy to see it. ( not have the posts, half the users. Half the posts are yours so that j=kind of distorts the figures).Actually i was in town (and that was the first time i have been out of this **** house!):mad: i can't wait to my mother gets off she will actually take us somewhere!
You actually do something other than troll the weather forum???LOL!

He said July would be on the wet side. Given the weather pattern we've had from january-june it wasn't at all certain that this July would turn out to be a wet month like it was in previous years. Grated it's still early in the month but it looks likely to be a wet month overall.
Fair enough. I'd not write off July just yet though. I don't see anything out of the ordinary with the forecast pattern for the next few days. It is just a wet spell, which can occur at any stage of the year in Ireland (not that anyone needs to be told this
)
For example, if the last 10 days of the month were dominated by a continental based heatwave, we would quickly forget this current spell of weather ever happened. A rainy few days in summer should not send us into a panic, but it is a panic that is understandable considering what happend over the last 3 years.0 -

If people are running out of water it's got nothing to do with natural causes - Ireland runs out of water because it has an antiquated water system that looses 60% of the water that passes through it. End of story.
I say it again, I'm in Sardinia at the moment, I've been coming here since '97, and they get a yearly total on average similar to Ireland's east coast, the huge majority of which falls from October to April. So they go 6 months with little or no rain, and yet they have plenty to go around. Farmers irrigate their fields every evening, old women are out on their streets every morning hosing down the road to keep the temperature down, everyone has at least one shower a day, and most importantly, the restaurants always have plenty of water to boil for the pasta, not to mention water for making all that ice cream!! They have 20 something lakes on the island, only one of which is natural, all the others are man-made, catching the winter rainfall for use during these months, delivered through an efficient system that doesnt actually loose 2 litres for every 1 it delivers.
Enough said....
While our east coast may have the same amount of yearly rainfall as Sardinia, surely it is, on average, more evenly spread throughout the year? Perhaps this could explain why we are not as prepared as Sardina for long dry spells regarding water resources etc, not that I'd know much about how water authorities plan and operate!
