Are we heading for another dry spring?

[Sid]

Blue skies again this morning, touch of frost and no rain for next day in forecast, some snow forecast for tomorrow.

Drought, I mean extended dry period, sorry @Farmer Roy

 

[roscoe erf]

doubtful if there is snow coming

 

[RAF]

Drought 21 k is go

 

[Sid]

Light snow showers it says, maybe equivalent to some drizzle and we know how useful that is!

 

[roscoe erf]

i don't know 3 dry days in a row and panic sets in

 

[Kevtherev]

Early enough yet v hard frost here this morning.

 

[Wombat]

About 3 weeks to a month since it last rained and drying up nicely.

Good frost this morning though but very nice now

As I said on the other thread, lower yields = higher prices.
Dry spell now, wet at harvest though.........

Not getting the cold nights there I guess? They really slowed growth here I reckon...

Crops are looking 100 % better than they did this time last year so better able to cope with a dry spell

We’d need over an inch of rain here now to make any difference to dry cloddy seedbeds. Clay dries slowly, but it wets slowly.
It’s wet underneath though so provided I’ve got things in deep enough they should have a fighting chance without further rain. I don’t think we’ll get any TBH. As the old boys say, it never rains in a dry time. Adapt to it.

 

[ffukedfarmer]

Everything here looks full of promise at the moment, so it wouldn't surprise me if we've seen the end of the rain until September now.

That said, this year seems more like 2017 or 2019 so far which means dry until June then unsettled until September.

 

[paddler]

Nearly 3 days since last shower, floods receding, praying for a Spring like last as we never grew as much grass as last year.

We had 8mm 10 days ago

 

[DrWazzock]

It’s springs like this that put me off a lot of bird seed and pollinator options. Small shallow drilled seeds, late spring, no chance of a decent take here.

10mm here and bloody glad we did!
