16.5mm in the last 2 days. Very happy with that but it won’t get us through to harvest.
Soil type is key. My gravels need at least half an inch each week to sustain them at this time of year. The same soil type in Suffolk would have a rain gun nearby or would be fit for forestry only.
I remember you posting some shocking pictures last year. How did harvest 2019 work out in the end for you?
So your boots are not muddy at all!!If you can’t get to harvest then goodness how we are going to fair, I seem to remember you getting a good bit more than here earlier on.
March 27.3 mm most of it in the first week
April. 19.8 mm
May. 3.1 mm
June so far. 14.5 mm
The 14 mm in the last week came in dribs and drabs which mostly dried up in between so we are now back to square one with no moisture left and back to scorchio! The year of hell continues here.

You have been misleading tff all the time!!
Problem was it started. It worries me when it starts then comes dry
How many years do you get half inch every week? in critical growing period. A tad optimistic is it not?Soil type is key.

I guess Croft has heavier soil,but wont get half inch rain every week.Evapotranspiration is 2-5mm/day in hot weather. If the soil can't provide that then that's why you see leaves rolling up and growth stops.
Caught the edge of a thunderstorm last night, but like you, still not much of a total .Still in drought here. 5ml in last few days is nowhere near enough to replace deficit and crops and grass still going backwards.
Just wheat plots this year. 33 varieties! Had a look yesterday and still very little septoria or mildew present in untreated but plenty of yellow rust and brown rust just getting going.Caught the edge of a thunderstorm last night, but like you, still not much of a total .
Did you do any trial plots this year ?
Are you sure your not mixing inches with mlWell, as of Saturday evening, we've had about four inches in the last ten days! An inch and half a couple of days ago and an inch and a half on Saturday evening, with some extremely close thunder and lightning.
A few weeks ago I wouldn't have thought that in mid-June I'd be hoping for some dry weather...
No, I don't have a high tech' rain gauge, just a wide bucket, but the inches don't lie - small flood down the lane yesterday and the river is up a lot.Are you sure your not mixing inches with ml
Monthly total for Llanboidy I. 3.48 inches
