Well it's rare I say it but I too have had enough. Ground water hasn't been this high since 2001. Springs and drains running at capacity. Water running off fields that I have never seen.
Irrigation borehole water level is 3.3 m.
Normally about 4.2m
Saying that as soon as my diesel tank is refilled later this week I will be drilling spring barley!

At the current rate of wet, if we can drill it in March I will consider it a bonus 🤣🤦‍♂️
 
Remember the 80s and 90s when the farming forecast was excellent. Took you through to a Friday guess. Update midnight Wednesday for Friday thru to Sunday. Then met office spent 30 million on a super computer but programmed it for global warming whereas Sun activity highest at end of 80s and reducing to 2035.
If they resurrected the old programme on their even more expensive computer I bet the forecast would be more accurate.
It was excellent if you turned the sound off especially on the Wednesday I watched Fish saying the Germans were wrong and there would be no hurricane
We had a very sunny early summer by our standards but sunlight in uk down by 18% last year. Remember the hot dry 70s to 90s wish we could get them back.

5c here & overcast, 8c later.
East Anglia.
Status: Yellow - Rain

Forecast: Fairly cloudy this morning with spells of rain pushing up from the south-west, this heaviest in the south of the area. Rain will continue this afternoon across much of central and southern parts, but staying drier for Norfolk. Lingering rain will turn lighter and patchier by this evening before clearing east; 24h rainfall totals of around 10mm or so will be possible locally towards London. A dry and chilly night beneath clearing skies will follow.
 
Maybe the pagans were right after all. We stopped worshipping the sun, now we're losing it
I don't think we need to worship it although it is the reason for all around us. We just need to study it more and understand it's affects. Whether that be no Sun spots last year, camp fires only, which causes more electrical activity in the atmosphere, remember the spring wild fires in the sky? Or the effects which could wipe out satellites etc.
We need to have people like the university mathematics professor from Durham to study and publish the results without the woke keyboard warriors trying to have her fired or crucified because her message was off script.
Watch RT (Russia TV) alternative non woke view. Russian scientists regard what is happening as cyclical.

I heard this too. Many important aspects of Earth continue to repeat endless forming the so-called cyclical fenomenon. There is the motion of Earth (I'm talking about the beneath strates make the upper strates move) and, of course, even this fenomenon that seem to be casual are then controlled by it.

Absolutely, there is so much going on that is not being studied or reported on due to anything not climate change/ global warming is off script and a firing offence. 18m more ice in antartica 30% more ice than 15 years ago. North pole plus 1C average, south pole -1C average. If there was all this melting but no freezing somewhere else the guys in the Indian ocean living inches above sea level would all have drowned years ago. Piece the size of London falls off. Big deal its a bl##dy continent same as a pimple on the elephants ass falling off.
