Are you just trying to be funny?are there people on here still in a drought? weve been getting nothing but rain

Yep getting beyond the point of no return for crops on lighter soils round here now, 18mm in May total so far, around 5-6mm in 1mm showers (i.e usless as they dried up instantly) in April, 25 degrees and breezy here today. If we don't get a decent rain very soon we are going to have a 2nd s**t harvest in a row, seriously dry following a very dry winter and last years drought!no, is it dry with you?

As a percent what yield did you have last harvest compared to your 5 year average?Yep getting beyond the point of no return for crops on lighter soils round here now, 18mm in May total so far, around 5-6mm in 1mm showers (i.e usless as they dried up instantly) in April, 25 degrees and breezy here today.

The 17mm we got last week was very welcome but others a bit further north got more, and about 20 days ago I watched bands of rain going west > east split and go above and below us by a few miles and then a couple of days later a band going south>north split again and go round us again!Not as dry here yet but we need proper rain too.
Some getting rain while others missing it completely.
Hope you get some soon!
Across the board probably down 20% on average, Spring Beans probably worse than that, 2nd wheat and w barley perhaps not quite that bad. Some 1st wheats on some stoney light land were shocking!As a percent what yield did you have last harvest compared to your 5 year average?

lets hope so, did notice the few extra planes flying around overhead then saw the airports message on twitter!Perhaps all those aircraft have developed a micro climate .
I see the runway is shut for repairs so hopefully it might start raining for you.
