We can manage some but need breaks, if we get 5 consecutive days ground conditions will suffer.

Mooooo

Drizzling away. Digger here draining atm, could use a bit of time to get grass quality under control too many steamy paddocks around. Rain welcome but once it won't be too constant

Light rain here on and off since 7 am, all wanted as it was getting hard to push the pigtails into the ground.

Yeah but you got rain where we didn't

Rains very light here and stopped altogether for an hour,just 0.8mm so far
Hoping for a better effort here friday
Grounds so hard,you'd want a sledge where you'd usually put your foot to hammer down a pigtail

Drizzling most of the night here with some thunder showers early in the morning. Dry now but must have had close to an inch of rain going by the water in the wheelbarrow. And not a sign of it in the fields. Grass will explode here now, hopefully.

It took me long enough to bother buying one, but a basic rain gauge (that I paid 6e for delivered to here) is something that every single farmer should have!

And yep, grass gonna explode outa it again, I'm not joking here but I've heard several farmers moaning, actually moaning that they have well enough fodder by now, but will have no choice but to take out more silage to keep grass under control. There is absolutely no demand for fodder, and with the beef market on the flood lads who normally were happy enough to keep stock over the winter to use up excess fodder just aren't bothered this year!

Great, monsoon season returns. Don't think it could rain any heavier than it is now. Savage thunder and lightning too.

^^ Watching the strikes on the radar map here. Aunt says it's very bad around her outside Mullingar.
Just overcast & constant thunder here, one heavy shower at 5 earlier but rained a heavy drizzle a lot of the morning too.

Beautiful evening here.

Strong, persistent drizzle with occasional heavier spells of rain.

Liquid sunshine

I says

Thunder and lightning and heavy showers it’s clearing now. Short sharp bursts of showers when they arrive.

Was at football . Thunder, lightening, torrential rain. Pure madness. Etp training was stopped due to lightening risk. Gaelic game went ahead though. Local shop flooded too
