Our average rainfall is just over 870mm so past 3 years have been slightly wetter with 2020 definitely been the worst!

2021 - 926.93mm
2020 - 1213.14mm
2019 - 1060.48mm
2018 - 705.16mm

I always think it’s in a 5 year cycle so hopefully heading back towards our average again now. So far we’ve had 0mm for 2022 👍🏼😬

We had 34.5inch, which is 10-15inch less than usual.
The best year I can remember, weather was fairly kind at lambing time, spring crops went in dry, but it was cold so the grass didn’t grow until it warmed up but when it did we had plenty of grass. All silage and hay well got, all the grass seeds we put in throughout the year grew well, harvest was easy, winter crops drilled in dust, grass kept growing all back end and we were spreading muck without frost up until a couple of weeks ago.
No doubt we’ll pay for it this year 🙈
