A month without rain?

[farmerm]

Beeb giving 40% chance for light showers on Wed...

But enough to be worth top dressing...? Dunno

Irrigators really got going in the past 2-3 days locally, spuds and cereals mostly from what I have seen. Beet looks to have managed to get that big old taproot down and finding some moisture.

40% chance of 3mm... or a gnats tear drop

Don’t think I’ll get too excited

Maybe enough to save the Spring crops.... dunno?

Looks like we’ve been luckier than a lot of people. 55.5mm in April, but only 2.25 in May. The driest May I’ve ever recorded, but not the driest month, April 2007 holds the record with just 0.25mm, followed by April 2011 with just 1mm. Both those years were followed by summers with ample rain ☔️
Over the years I’ve noticed that it’s possible to have a wet year with a severe drought at some point, and conversely, it’s possible to have a dry year with no drought.?

T'was optimistic ... only 2.6mm recorded today.

Good job @Clive had a crop big enough to feed the nation last year, to carry forward.

Queen will be presenting a gong post Covid 19.
