But it's been pee!ng all morning, left for Clonmel about 8.30 and had to make a run for the car. Lots of water on the roads, branches etc. rained a good lot overnight i'd say.

Brightened up from about 3pm on.

Trees hanging with fruit. Haws, rowan elderberry.... You know what the old folk around here used to say. Tough winter ahead.
Personally I think it was a sign of no frost at flowering.

Funny , we were looking at mountain ash today that is absolutely laden with fruit and the father was saying the same thing about the old timers saying it was a sign of a bad winter .

Had a torrential rain shower for a solid 5 mins here that was as heavy a rain as I have ever seen....and that's on top of the terrible rain the whest has been getting for the last 4 months!!!

Shower just arrived after a good morning

Here in Dublin the sun is splitting the stones, despite this it is breezy and a bit cold. Wear a woolly hat.

TITANIUM.

Ferocious showers down here. Lovely sunshine in between, around in a t-shirt but the showers would knock you.

Foggy frosty morning here earlier bringing in the cows

_Brian

Second bright sunny morning in a row, shame we had to wait for October for it to happen.

Ground here will never dry now but it was great to have a dry day to do stuff.

awaywithyou

Batten down the hatches time here... Next 36 hrs going to be severe... If it is as severe as forecast... Cattle won't see grass til April again....

MfMan

Online forecasters typically divergent. weather-forecast predicting heavy overnight rain, yr.no not so much. Do thing the latter is actually quite poor.

Genghis Cant

We're in day three of dry days in a row. No rain here Saturday, Sunday or today and powerful drying in that breeze.
Land is drying up nicely. I see a few lads ploughing and sowing away.

TITANIUM.

Awful rain and wind down south!

A nice bit of rain today but the wind has died down this evening.

And the heaviest rain seems to be staying much further south of here and looking like the worst will be off the coast as well.

I must a good bit further south than you. Tis still bucketing it down here. We're near the coast alright.
The wind has eased thank god.
Tis a night for the fire.

Grand dry day here but I've started to run very tight on grass. Overstocked from being locked up and ground is starting to show the effects. I'm contemplating putting some cattle in but it would end up being a very long winter.

TITANIUM.

Holy god the rain down here is relentless.
Was out moving animals there and I don't think I've ever seen the place wetter.
Now I know how the lad's in the north west feel.
The radio reckons that it's just south kerry and Abit of West Clare that are getting it.

Ah twas the one year that building covers went right and now it looks like we won't be able to graze them.

Dry here, mowing later for bales. Have said it before for a small country there's a big difference in the weather in some areas

Jesus fair play. I hope it holds dry for ye.
Even dry free draining fields are saturated down here. I hope the weather will give places a chance to dry out over the next few weeks.

Mooooo

Got it from about 3 yesterday to around 4 this morning, hasn't rain since a few showers and wind but thats it. lucky here it stayed west of us, those right on the west coast took a fair drop, it looks like it didnt come as far in as was threatened earlier in the week

Welding Rod

Got a few dry days in a row. Bit of sun and wind. Thought to myself would be able to get cows back out for a few weeks. Last night fudged that right up.
It's a fudging disaster the way the ground is and the amount of winter fodder already eaten.
Is there any few quid to be made out of rearing snipes I wonder? Handy sized ones mind, as I'd have to put down roads for the average lads to land and take off!!!

Today marks quite a milestone, four dry consequtive days, hasn't happened since early May 😧

rained here for 10 min , bucketed, a few fellas had paddocks of grass cut to find place for slurry

Left my wellie behind me this morning in the dark in the muck around meal trough for weanlings.
Last calf coming at speed to the trough had to do a handbrake turn to avoid a head on collision.
In the process of waving my two arms and flash lamp at the hoore to stop him, I half fell over in the sh1t and got a right pasting.

I spilt half of the big bucket of expensive meal in the scrum. By the time I got sorted the battery died in my lamp.

I had to deal with the heifer calves in another field with no lamp, wet sock, sh1t in my wellie, covered in goo from head to toe without as much as a flash lamp.

It was milling rain all at the same time.

I pelted all the muck covers clothes on top of the washing machine. They probably have been discovered by now. -:)

Tomorrow is another day!

Wrapping here now. Overcast all morning

It's this day week since we'd rain here. Some difference in ground conditions. Yesterday in particular with sun and breeze there was serious drying.

Unreal drying in the week, I was able to get in and out of the fields with the van and trailer full of branches, wouldn't have dreamt of it last week

Savage weather here. Was in Central Europe from Sun to Wed pm absolutely biblical rain at times. Ploughs and beet harvesters only rolling Wed evening. Thousands of acres of combine maize still to be cut

Slurry pipe guy here yesterday and till lunch today, emptied last of lagoon slurry. Savage out put averaging 25000 gallons per hour, even counting rolling and unrolling pipe.

Super day in west Clare sun and drying. Cattle stretched out in the sun like July. I didn't have the heart to shove them in the crush for dosing.

Working in Dublin city centre again all this week and saw the first few drops of rain today at lunchtime when leaving.

Mind you there was a cool blustery wind for a couple of the days.

Nice pleasant evening here now at the foot of Slievenamon.

Sunny day in south tipp. 18°C most of the day. Going doing the last bit of baling for the year I hope

That Cranium lad is a waste of space, I kept a fairly close eye on his forecasts all summer, he kept forecasting improved weather in a week or two, all summer which very rarely arrived.
Met Éireann and the Met office in England can give decent forecasts for a week ahead if you're lucky, looking at forecasts any further ahead than is a waste of time imo.
