It was a lovely day here. Calm dry night now. Perfect weather for a few lambs

The radar on the met eireann mobile site is always so unnatural, circle patterns radiating from certain points. So slow to load, location data pointless aswell.I suppose I have a fair idea it's going to rain tonight.

Mooooo

Pissing rain in cork since 6.30 anyway. Agree new met eireann site is a balls. Old 5 day radar was good I thought.

I find yr weather quite accurate.In mayo here,like a lot of the country we experienced unnaturally mild weather from October on.
I had 40 ewes and a ram together in around 8 acres of normally wettish ground for tipping season.They had it ate to the ground when taken out on Dec 4th.
Put 20 ewes back in there this week that are carrying twins, there is over half a foot of fresh green grass in it!......don't get me wrong I'm not complaining but there is something up to see growth like that in the Winter.

Even dry ground getting wet around here now with the steeps of rain in last 10 days.

Think it was George Bush Jr who commissioned a report on climate change and security in 2008, part of the conclusion was that westren European countries would have milder winters and colder springs, one of their (US) recent studies into CC and security state's that the analysis of CC is unlikely to change before 2022.

Changeable here between sunshine, blustery wind & had a snow shower

Horizontal hail shower.

Rain and wind all night. Doing night time lambing for a farmer in Waterford

Winter has arrived.

Odyssey 2005

Wet..very wet.

TITANIUM.

yep wind and rain, stuff blown around yard like crazy, what ever angle it came in at.

Ground possibly at its softest since last autumn. Have stock out all winter and only today I’m thinking of moving them off a field because of poaching.

We’ve had some phenomenal nights of rain over last ten days with last night being a brute with wind, tough wind/rain forecast for tonight again.

Isn’t this how 2012 faced out, good spell too early followed by a break in March that never ended.

But sure don't forget according to authorities the water level of lakes are still dangerously low

TooOldBoots

Yep very similar to 2012. Was just thinking that yesterday. Temperatures are below the norm now. Places are swimming wet. We could get 6-8 weeks of this before the weather clears.

Bleating Lamb

Was it 2012 that March and April were really hard cold months?.....seem to remember having sheep in fields burnt pure brown and no sign of growth.
Serious Westerly wind here at mo,just in from doing things.

I don't think there is much chance of that here .They could badly do with being drained away

I hosted the national sheep conference about 18th may 2012, Darren Carthy was one of the organisers and he was here the week before the day wondering where I had grass that they'd show them. The fields were burnt, yet on the day there was loads of grass. It turned around in a week
March April and most of may were hungry months that year

For anyone that follows the weather charts and let's face you will when your livelihood depends on it.

They would have seen how there will be ridges of high pressure coming over the country tomorrow and another one Thursday with the increasing promise of more prolonged high pressure centering over the country for next week.

Chin up folks..

Mac Taylor

Fair wind here the last hour or so, place is saturated and we have limestone land.

I think we escaped most of the rain here in cork. Its not too bad just a bit windy. Only the odd shower or two today.

_Brian

I was in the hayshed earlier and the roof of the lean too was flexing up and down by maybe 4-6 inches, its very disconcerting..



Coming in near half hour alternations here with rest and then rain/wind..

Just in there now. Calm and concrete drying. Ground well washed and very wet. Was rough enough at times during the day but nothing serious either.
