What's the weather like in your area 2

Lightning up here now, thankfully not heavy rain (for now) as ground was only recovering the last few days

Windy night but a dry morning. Could do with a bit of rain as grass growth is slowing down

Baled stuff yesterday eve that was only cut late sat eve and shook out yesterday morning and it was haylage too. Unreal drying out the last couple of days.

We never saw a drop of rain either in the midlands and we’ve been bulling ourselves the last 2 days trying to get all done before Sunday nights rain🙄

badly wanted rain here to get fertiliser in that went out. ground is hard as a rock and cool breeze each evening come 7 pm, growth suffering badly

a winters night.
was at a my h with kids and they were nearly froze when the came off and they were running a lot horrendous year

Tough night here. Strong gusts of wind and heavy showers of rain. Raining steadily since around 7pm yesterday evening.

Ground is like iron here. Can barely put a pigtail stake in the ground. I was discing ground yesterday, had a job to get it into the ground it was so dry.

Same around here. I only remarked to myself earlier in the week as the pigtails were all bending trying to get them into the ground that the place hasn’t been as dry and hard since 2018.

Mid west area we are not too bad here further west and north a completely swimming. We were supposed to avoid last night ...... but we got every bit of it. Well sick of this year but the quad isn't getting stuck in gaps yet 🙃 🙄

Friend 25 miles south of me begging for rain

I don't think we had four dry days in a row here since the end of June last year. The rain may not have been heavy at times but it rained all the same. I was traveling to Mullingar this morning for a 10am appointment and I noticed large numbers of swallows and house martins gathering on the telephone wires - I reckon they have given up on summer here and are heading on their holidays to sub Saharan Africa.

I'm worried about the spring barley straw crop. Most that I've seen around NCD, Meath and Kildare is still green at the stem and the straw is only about a foot high. Fingers crossed the weather improves in the next few weeks.

talking to a fisherman from dingle this morning he says a heat wave from September 2

Likewise. I’m in Mayo so good chance it was a different fisherman 🙂

I was expecting a mini heatwave like last year on Tuesday evening it was so balmy, nothing only dirty showers since and the fine forecast is finishing on Saturday, tis a bit slow to say the least.

Think the weather for next week has changed again. No rain but was giving Monday very wet here yesterday

That's enough for me, relief milker pulled in, I'm packing the tent and heading to an island. I need a break and I hope I'll come back a better man.

It’s only since the weekend here that you can get the pigtails down in the ground without having to try 3 or 4 different spots and they bending looking for a soft spot!

cold morning here

cloudy morning here hopefully the sun will break true iv silage cut since yesterday evening for bales a 3rd cut I'm anxious tobale it to fertiliser for grass for calves
