Be fine with drizzle.. even with rain it would take a fair bit to wash it down their sides and off completely..

So....
In Dublin there are dairy, veg, livestock, tillage farmers working hard to make a living, no different to the rest of the country.

Doesn't matter how hard any man, woman or child works, the difference in it between east and west is there to be seen in weather patterns for the last 60 years. so it is in fact different depending on where you are situated.

We live on a relatively small island but have to deal with a complex weather system.
Irish weather patterns/forecasts are very difficult to predict due to been sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the land mass of Europe. That is my understanding of the lay mans terminology.
I understand that our weather patterns are based on records from the British Naval Service in the 1860's and since.

Very true but the difference in weather is there to be seen hence the popular term "sunny south east" as in general this is where the best weather is in Ireland.

For example this certainly won't be happening in the west of Ireland unless of course we get the mother and father of all indian summers

I lived in dublin for four years and by in large it's like a totally different climate much milder and generally less rainfall. Also a longer growing season and mean air temps are higher. It's just how it is, no one said People in the east of Ireland work less at they're farming but the weather is kinder to them.

really nice day

I think his point was that the forecast spouted can often be what's gonna happen in the Dublin and the East, particularly on smaller broadcasts without giving a breakdown for the rest of the country

The weather in the west is brutal, rain almost every day the last 8 or so weeks. Land very wet. Worst spell of weather I remember.

selectamatic

Seen a few fields in sh1te after baling around the place alright, one fella got round one swarth with a 10ft trailed mower till he near went to the axle! Another tractor and baler not too far away have been stuck for the last day think they are going to have to tow from the road to have any hope a couple of tractors have tried and failed from the field already they have the baler out but the beached tractor is proving a tougher job.

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.

_Brian

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.
