Absolute hoor of a day here. Started raining before dawn and hasn't stopped. One of our two cows calved this evening (unaided) and I had to bring her and calf indoors. Cow was wobbly/shivery so gave her a bottle of calcium and one of magnesium. She nipped at a few nuts and I left some hay and a bucket of warm water with her.

Shocking the amount of silage that was cut, I don't know where people got there forecast from but its in absolute ****e now

Rain non stop now for more than 24hrs, just alternating between heavy and shockingly heavy rain.

Saw 2-3 fields of silage lying yesterday, hopefully they get it picked up.

Saw local lad drawing stuff in and water running out of back of trailer

Very bad outlook in forecast too.

Harsh northerly breeze with frequent showers, raining every day with a week, there'll be some silage cut when it finally stops

Suns out here in east Wicklow
17.6mm rain here since June 1st,that's equal to the whole of may
Many northern and northwestern areas probably had double or more

Its wanted rain thereabouts unless you have silage to cut

Was thinking the same myself, who told you that it's going to stop, im beginning to wonder!!!
I used my rain gear more in the last two days than in the last six months.
No forecast i looked at on Monday morning predicted a monsoon for two days either.

Bleating Lamb

A lot of 1st cut ready around me and no sign of a let up in the deluges for it to be harvested.Heavier crops lying sideways in the fields as well.

Dickie10

Bright clear morning, mostly blue sky, slight breeze, not warm but pleasant.

Nice break from rain and let ground soak a bit.

Nice fresh morning here. Heavy rain for an hour at around 8.30 yesterday evening.

_Brian

Lovely day again.
Bright with sun most of the day, bit of a breeze kept it cool but great drying which was badly needed.

Just after 8 or 9 days of outrageous rain, next week looking good though
