Bloody rain

[johnspeehs]

Well I'm TB yesting tomorrow and would think will have to keep a wallop of cows and calves in, weather has shat itself yet again,rain here this evening has been torrential and ground was already sodden. It's beginning to get a bit tedious now, every bloody year the same.

pls send it down here

It's getting depressing. 310mm fell in June and July when we should only get around half of that.

We're only 50-60mm away from hitting our annual average rainfall already. - and remember we had almost no rain from Mid March - Mid June.


Good luck with the tb test

Well I suppose we are a long way apart

 

[ianlucasshearing]

We are as dry as a nunns never regions!! Would love a fortnight of rain!

Well not really but it must be an East West split rather than a North South one, the jet stream comes into play I suppose.

Just like here. Grass has stopped growing due to the amount of rain. Getting very fed up.

According to a local weather reporter/rainfall measurer, we hit our average annual rainfall at the end of March! Sheep have been playing catch-up ever since, and would desperately like some rain to get grass going now.

A wet month would just about f**k up the Spring Barley, but the gains elsewhere are starting to get to the stage where they’d outweigh that now!

A years worth in 3 months?! What is your annual average?

We had 1/3 of our annual rainfall in February alone - which was 3x February's usual average.


2012 we had over double our annual rainfall. I wouldn't wish that sort of rain on anyone

totally scunnered, its like October rather than august, you get a couple of dry months like the spring and think this farming game is easy, and then its back to this sh!t, cows tramping in muck in july

We only have about 30” in an ‘average’ year, whatever that is. Had about that in the first 3 months, and next to bugger all since.

 

[Kidds]

Obviouly fairly localised. OK here but bordering on dry yet some are saying too wet and others too dry.
We were extremely dry earlier in the year and there's no way levels are back where they should be yet as far as groundwater is concerned. Trees look stressed to me.

The average here is about 42".

Our rainfall graph is showing since August last year (so the last 12months) we have either had at least twice our average rainfall each month, or next to no rainfall at all.

It just keeps going from 1 extreme to another

Weather bursts end of June the summer is over. Growth is slowing, nights longer, cattle have emptied out.

It’s just a mild autumn.

 

[Northeastfarmer]

It’s felt very autumnal all July mainly on a night

Todays forecast. Grim.
