My farm is more exposed to the south easterly so half the cattle were brought in on Saturday while the other half were given the few sheltered fields.
My farm has 500m of coastline and it's beeing blowing a gale from the south east since Friday morning, and pouring rain since Saturday 2pm. Must have made 50mm or more since then. Not what i needed

Harsh day here, very windy , sheets of rain, east Galway

Banging rain and wind.

Perfect day for cattle test later

Nothing better for cattle been in shed for five months, take them out on a wet windy day and prod them with needles

Do you need rain. Raining here all morning. A day for paperwork I think.

Yea.
I had some site visits set up for this morning but they are a bust now.

Not measuring rain here but has been driving since sat night. A sinkhole we made to take surface water from one block is after stopping up,. Fcukall shelter anywhere here from the south/ southeast have the tractor parked across the entrance to the sheds

Raining moderately now
Totals doubled in last half hour
Very cold though only 6c and a gusty wind
Yeah this rain is useful as long as it's not any heavier
Should rain all day now here near the coast in Wicklow which is setting things up nicely for next week's warmth
Though it won't get too warm here as usual with a breeze off the sea but the ground should, so I'll use that hashtag #grasstomilk

Bitter cold here with 48 hours and not a lot of rain. Hard to believe this time last year we were looking for a dry day and now I'm looking for a few showers of rain.

No rain in Kerry? It’s bucketing down in Cork and they are putting up the flood defense barriers in Mallow expecting a deluge of water from Kerry down the blackwater.

Very little up to an hour ago but raining now and roads a bit slippy. No fear of flooding round here anyway.

Horrendous 12 hours rain... Raining pretty much constant since Sat afternoon.... Place in right **** now. Cows in everywhere where they are out it's like a rotovator in fields.
West Cork always gets hit v bad....

Over 80mm recorded in Waterford city in 48hrs
Just 10.4mm up here in Arklow
Only 5.8mm at Ashford near Wicklow town

The wind left here in the last 2 hours, very cold and windy before milking and a gentle breeze out now. A nice sup of rain fell, not a huge amount but it'll keep us going for a while anyway.

Well we're suffering here. That's 3 days now of constant rain.

Depressing weather. Giving the cows a full paddock instead of half that they should be getting with the amount of grass in them. To limit poaching and keep intakes up with the miserable weather.

Similar here. Ground which had gone hard is now sopping. Grass also flattened by the heavy rain.

The SE wind of the last few days has finally died down, didn't get much of the rain promised, SW or W wind we'd have got more rain.
Stock goin out this week, 3 weeks earlier than last year. Good growth weather forecast for the next few days.

That's enough rain now for a few months

Rain has stopped now still overcast though.

Young lass is off at a Forest School Camp for few days, was a wet cold start for it this morning.

My uncle has a raing guage on his out farm, emptied it on Saturday morning. He didn't return to the farm till Monday midday. It holds 125mm, and it was overflowing.
