What's the weather like in your area 2

Scorcher

Lots of hay down

The sun is splitting the stones here. Temperature is around 28°C

Alot of houses around here have had no water since Friday. Bottled water can't be got in supermarkets

Looks like the rain for the weekend has been cancelled. The dry spell is forecast for another 7 - 10 days now. I knew by the amount of Sea fog in the mornings that this spell wasn't going to end this week. Growth is still holding up well, I've fields that are ready to graze again after only 14 days since they were grazed down, the farm is full of grass, Cows in super condition, Weanlens are really thriving now too

Some main dealers write the radio code, on the driver's side, under a cut out flap of floor carpet.

Reading 30°C in the cab of the tractor here. Very glad of the AC.

If it don't rain a good drop down here we are going to be in a serious place.

I don't fancy feeding the wraps apart from the cost, the workload.

Heavy rain and thunder for the last 10 minutes, and no sign of it stopping, combines and balers have the evening off in south Kildare, and a few hailstones for good measure

Still sweltering here in N Galway, c. 30C. Wondering if the forecasted thunder showers will make it this far; imagine the effect a dash of rain would have on parched ground.

Ground rock hard here with little or no growth.

Hopefully when it changes we only get light rain as a thunderstorm would just run off into the rivers before it got a chance to soak in.

Never before saw the likes of the down pour, or heard such a long never ending peal of thunder. It started so suddenly, the tree branches swirling crazily about. The poor cat managed to run under the car for shelter, then dashing under the car nearest the front door, opened the door for him, he was terrifed. Hopefully that will clear the air. It's nice and cool now, the rain was badly needed.

They should be OK - PIL bags - plastic insulating layer between the 6 layer sacks. Get them into shed - spaced out

We haven’t had a single spit of rain from the 6th June. This farm is split between heavy clay ground and light ground over limestone higher up. Heavy ground is just about starting to run out of steam and the light ground is burnt to a crisp. I baled silage 5 weeks ago and sowed it, there’s not 5cm of grass on it. Never seen me as badly off for aftergrass. Only for the sea mists in the morning I doubt I’d even have that. Funnily enough stock are still thriving well.

A very muggy overcast day here. No rain yesterday.

You can't say biblical, it doesn't tie in with new age farming causing global warming.

Not a bit in my part. It's thinking hard about it alright. Going to be very serious if the clouds fail to burst.

A few thunder showers here during the day but it was blown off with the wind

We were loading round bales of wbs on the borders of NCD/Meath and I had to get towed into the field at 7am this morning as the ground was slippery after last nights rain. I had no problem driving out under my own steam an hour or so later with a full load due to the drying wind. It wasn't the same scenario this afternoon - towed in and towed out due to heavy showers.

Very bad here in North Cork too. Another week or 2 of 25+ degrees will be needed to help with decent ground conditions for the Autumn.
