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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Large volume of rain fell last night around these parts

WheatenBriar

30mm here in east wicklow so far
Attached is a screengrab of the radar
The rain is moving northwest from cornwall to Mayo
If you are insidde that band you will have rain all dayas you have to wait for the stuff near Cornwall to pass through you for a clearance
South of it (most of munster, parts of wexford) very little rain or dry

Lashing here since about 1030 last night

Monsoon just finished here, the sooner the "summer of 2015" is over the better.

Another two weeks and the news papers will be in with the usual "worst winter ever" forecasts predicting ten foot of snow, floods and invasions of killer snow bees from **** knows where. I'm sure an auld bird flu/ingrown toe nail epidemic will be thrown in for good measure...

Sort of watery sunny morning here in Cavan.. 7c when I was out first and felt coolder.. Would make a nice Autumn day at best, I notice that the Horse Chestnut trees are turning, seen a stand of them all half deep red leaves already..

Username John

Not too bad here now, sunny.

But we had very heavy rain early this morning, the same yesterday. Ground conditions not great...
