It was cancelled in 2007 and 2008 but was on a different site then i think.

Just 4mm here in east Wicklow overnight
You'd think there was a lot more but I'm noticing that the ground is so rock hard that it pools a lot and takes a while to soak down or evaporate

That's over 2 different days though
If I took the same time period here it would have been about 19mm

Lovely day here so far but showers nearly and I think I heard a boom of thunder
Could be a bit of that later this afternoon in the east

Western Pomise

Had torrential downpour here yday around 3pm for 20 mins....a weeks worth of rain fell in it!....land starting to get very sticky.

And very obvious that anywhere with good aftergrass it is lying down....If things don’t dry up a bit the stock will walk yon grass into the ground in no time.

How is it elsewhere?

About average here for this time of year. Wouldn't go driving across the fields like, but you'd get it all eaten once you didn't close them up too small.
The biggest calf got left behind when moving the other day & he came thundering after, sinking to his knees :pac:

Got the lawn mowed and no rain at all here today

Got bloody luck with a smash and grab of 15ac, pissed rain tue night but sunny yday morning, so cut it the afternoon, got one small shower after mowing, but blew a gale all night and sunny this morning again, baled it the afternoon, and got another shower just as the last 2ac was being baled. 3rd cut in a week or so and I'll never wanna see another bale again ever, will be the best part of 600 going into this winter. If carlsberg did farming weather 2019 would be it though!

Mooooo

Pissed rain all night, have gotten caught with rain for both silage cuts now but thems the breaks. Should have planned the first one earlier. Have about 300 bales made off paddocks as well. All the Second cut may well not fit in the pit, the thought of having another 300 bales is sickening. Going to have to try and get some extra silage pits in, the year ill have it up there prob wont be a spare bale made then lol. I think its to improve from next week

I says

Some rain falling now the satellite signal is breaking up

Horrendous rain here. Land very wet now

whelan2

Nice dry morning here . Land is wet though. We've had enough rain now.

einn32

Steady to heavy rain here now. It was drying for a few hours yesterday.

RedPeppers

August has been pure scutter around here. Grass growing over the ditch but if it doesn’t stop raining it will be impossible to graze it without doing damage.

Yup time to turn off the tap

Rain just arrived here in Cavan.

Land is wet and if there isn’t a change soon it won’t recover for late grazing.

Have few bales to make which won’t be fun either.

Mooooo

40 acres of heavy silage and another 15 of paddocks with 2500 plus covers on them to bale, rain or showers every fecking day, building grass is going to get tighter as time goes on

Yeah, the sun is back out and shining. Horrible day here with heavy rain from lunch time.

Timmaay

As perfect an August as they come here, plenty of rain and heat.

Mucky day here today, blustery and wet and looking like it's going to be around for a good while. Only raining for the last hour though.
