whats the weather like in your area?

The weather is shocking bad in the west, serious rain again today. Worse summer than last year. A lot of ground very soft.

I live and work 25 miles apart. Different climate altogether in each area. Unfortunately the wet climate is where I live and farm.

Heavy rain here in north Cork. There was a good bit of rain during the night but it was dry from 5am until 10.30. It's needed but we don't want too much of it.

pedigree 6

Had a small bit of rain at 6.
Then cleared up with good drying.
Brought a load of straw home.
Then the heavens opened up and stopped half an hour later.
Now it's started with thunder and lightning.

It rainy next to me.

In Dublin all week. Very dark and trying to rain all day, eventually succeeded from about 4pm.

Still very close and humid, hard to bloody sleep

Would have got that much too, open drains flowing strongly this morning.....like January.
No thrive in stock now with wet grass and cold ground. Be housing them shortly I'd say.

South tipp. Raining on and off so far. Strong winds last night

White Clover

I wish I was joking john. Heavy ground here coupled with high rainfall. No point in poaching ground to **** and stock not thriving either. This is where these nice 2 or 3 per acre bales come in handy.

Not a bad evening in the Midlands, brightened up here now,and it's finally stopped raining! We have enough rain now, time to turn off the tap :-D

mayota

A lot of this in the west.

farmerjj

Wet wet wet down south,got a real October feel

RedPeppers

Horrible day here in galway didn't need any of that rain we got. When other parts are getting no rain we are still getting a good dash all summer. At least growth has been exceptionally good

Coolfresian

Never stopped raining all day. More like a day in November here atm.

KingBrian2

Not a bad day here in Dublin. Only droplet of rain eased off after yesterday's and previous days torrential downpours.

Have you a second pair?

On and off rain here. There was a lot of rain from the west to the midlands and up to you last night. As tanko said it was like monsoon weather.

Pressure must be coming on the Shannon farmers who were flooded in the spring.
