Spring is coming

Haha. Reminds me of a young trained farmer, and an old man who met around this time of year. The YTF said "Isn't it great Winter is over!", he'll find out he's getting the wrong education.

id never couunt winter over until about march 20th , i always think theres very little winter can thrownat you agter that. i seen snow and floods in fields around then but it always disapeers very quick from march 20th onwards. did u ever see how land that was muddied or wet or poached can dry out with two good days at the end of march ?always shocks me how quickly it turns around and how land drys out.

Mid March and April could be the toughest months especially if an east wind comes.

Done a bit of digging previously in our local weather station records. Couldn't get ground temps, but historical air temps don't reliably get into double figures here until around April 20th.

Lighthouse was still flashing at quarter to ten this morning, gives an indication of the weather...

The local flasher was going to retire at Christmas but decided to stick it out for another year

Say my name

I saw three daffodil plants in full leaf and bloom today. I couldn't really believe it.

Now they were about a mile from the coast and whether whoever had the bulbs stuck in a freezer last autumn ??

Some sight anyway on the 7th January. Near Arthurstown.

i often wonder where the 10 year average growth grass curve comes from in the farmers journal, it always seems to say growth kicks off in a big way from st patricks day on , i cant rememeber very many early springs where growth was nice and sustained from paddys day. can anyone remember very early springs that lasted into summer or horrifically late springs ?

There is a sharp wind blowing out there atm that would cut the nose off ya

Anyone see a break in the weather coming,these slurry tanks are filling fast and you can hardly walk on ground at the minute.

Mooooo

Ground soaked. Talks of cold weather maybe from Sun on but typical its too far out so will prob change again. Pumped slurry around from tank to tank so have a bit of time but tower is full now

Reggie.

Sure isn't thst always the way. Great weather for spreading slurry before Christmas every year and about the first week of Jan it starts raining till mid Feb when your allowed to spread

Mooooo

Yellow rain warning for tonight again

Wind and rain here and the ground is saturated.

I see very little in the forecasts bar wet & windy weather for the foreseeable future.

There may be a chance of drier weather next week. Emphasis on may.

When I put in my location on the Met Eireann site and scroll forward through next week there's lots of blue drops shown

Ah yea. You'll be wet. Weather coming from sw to w to nw. When if, it switches to nw you'll get polar maritime which shouldn't really cross the country.

Too far away still for any certainty which way.

Country should be roofed, have the down pipe in Dublin, solve everyone's problems

Some really heavy showers here now. Miserable day - dark as a dungeon too. Forecast for tomorrow looks worse.

Might see some rivers breaking their banks now that the ground is waterlogged.

zetecescort

After turning very wild now to go with the rain all day

SuperTortoise

Wild here in NW since 7 ish, bad day promised tomorrow as well.

funkey_monkey

Awful night here now. Winds are up and it's lashing down too. Reports of flooding coming in too.

At least at night most sensible people have the "fùck it, it'll up until tomorrow" attitude. During the day you'd be trying to tie something down or getting an animal stranded on wrong side of a flood.

Apparently there's very high pressure forecasted for the weekend and early days of next week around Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales.

Forecasted maybe over 1045 hPa. Especially on Sunday for us in Ireland.

Highest recorded surface reading was 1048 in Johnstown castle. 1051 was the highest atmospheric pressure recorded down in Valentia.

Looks to be no end atm to the HP around Ireland in the forecast. Last three years or so the weather systems get set in either wet or dry. The fluidity of the Atlantic doesn't seem to be as fluid as it used to be.

1051?

No wonder the Kerry boys are always a little higher strung..

Can you imagine carrying that weight around all the time..

Tiny fellas. 😀

Tis actually forecast to be 1048 maybe 1049 over the southeast Sunday so the record may be broken at johnstown castle.

There's going to be strong winds in the Atlantic up to Iceland as a result from the difference in pressures.

Lovely spring morning here, frost during the night. Saw a few snow drops in full bloom yesterday.
