Jesus it was some b#t#h of a day, the biggest problem is it was from the east, .alot of sheds around here are open to the east and this rain went right through them and ill be surprised if there isnt alot sick calves after it.

thay guy on fb said there was a blocking high on the way for the last week, I am still waiting........wheatenbriar on here is normally on the ball. Dont know how they are saying what May will be like when April is only started

Milked out

Foggy calm morning. Rain stopped here at about 2am I think, showers after that. If it could stay dry today and tonight may try them out for a few hours 2moro. Agree with the lads the east wind is a fcuker

WheatenBriar

Weather models are only good on detail up to 4 days ahead max
Thankfully as the days get longer,each dry day does more work at undoing the rain damage,so we've that to help?
This week is indeed looking like it will deliver dryer days to do that job but with the caveat that showers will be about so if you get them,it's a step backwards again
Growth looks like it's going to be terrible slow for a while due to a harsh northeasterly and the general trend towards north themed weather sources being dominant
That doesn't mean the wind won't be from the south at times but it can be cold from there too if it's source is actually north as its circulating so it's southerly in your place but it's actually circulating round a high pressure or low pressure somewhere with the air source originally way up north

Now I may go back to work,made eggs benedict this morning,kitchen is full of smoke :eek:

Ye are getting a taste of what we had in cork yesterday, slowly brightening up down here so I'll let the cows out for a few hours.

LinF

Raining and the poor sheep in the fields all look so miserable! Cows are all inside though.

i jave the grand total of 2 cows and 2 calves out , they were born in mid february and have a dry 20 acres to roam across. everrything else hasnt seen grass at all yet. the sheep have a lot of the grass pared down now and no resonse fom fertilizer yet, thank god we have plenty of silage, there wont be any cattle out here til at least saturday or early next week. the store cattleare being held up from getting out so it will be hard to finsh off grass id say

Constant cold miserable rain here all day in Cavan, have avoided being out at all but that's just stockpiling work for another day..

Ground is as wet as any time over the winter..

Same as with fog no drying in this weather

Redbishop

Heavy mizzle here with very low visibility as mixed with fog, warm though.
Was out earlier with a neighbour with a cow calving outside, bout an hour, came home soaked and had to change.

Insp. Harry Callahan

Yesterday here was bitterly cold but dry, managed to get a few hours ploughing done last night for the 1st time in 2weeks, wet and miserable today.no cattle out here yet, gonna be at least 10 days, sheep are looking very miserable out in the fields, feeding meal to them, grass ain't too plentiful

Dickie10

we had the worst night of rain all winter last night in south-west Meath. never seen floods in some of the fields as bad all winter. Wont be any cattle going out for another week at this rate. and me trying to get 25 heifers finshed off grass under 30 omths

Dozer1

cracking day here today, frost last night but lovely out now a few days of this would be a tonic

Aye ditto here this morning
Very sunny since but ground is sodden

jack o shea

Great day here so far thank God, another 30 of them would take the pressure off.

Dickie10

might have turned a corner

TITANIUM.

Two cracking days back to back in the southwest. Badly wanted.

Redbishop

After virtually 24 wet hours here it cleared up to a beautiful afternoon and jeep thermo hit 14 at one stage.
My old fella says he likes the stand of the moon which is visible here now and predicts a drier spell because of it.

I said

This next week will be hectic fert,slurry and last of cattle out in no particular order and best of all I've a rake of porter to drink at a wedding on Saturday

pedigree 6

Drove to Kilkenny today and temp hit 15 c.
Cow's out today and myself and father were wondering should we leave cows out tonight. I said it would depend on what condition the ground is in. So I said if in I'd phone him from paddock so he could sort heifers out on way into holding pen for their own house.
Long story short phoned him up ground dry. Let them in together cos there going out to grass together for the first night this year. Yippee.

The weather here is nice and dry and grass is moving today. Finally.

Map the mountains ontop of that and you'll see that they line up fairly well with the high rain areas

i see south county dublin and maynooth/north kildare area getting low amounts of rainfall, i have always thought there seemed to be a micro climate in that area, i work in maynooth and bad weather is a rarity. i know lads farming in that general area and south east meath and on ground with streaks of gravel there biggest hindrence in summer is drought
