FFS - you softcock whinging whining pansies wouldn't know what to do if you ever had to deal with a REAL drought . . .
When the cactus start getting moisture stressed - then you can say it's a drought
Real your neck in a bit Farmer Roy, whinging Aussies with that great big heavy chip on their shoulder!:rolleyes: Remind who was crying when he got caught cheating again?;)

We had 15” in March and April
One extreme to other
We are hanging in but dry hot week due
It’s demoralising
Sandy land would need rain every week?

Yes it certainly went from winter to summer here.
Agree about the demoralising bit especially when you are so close to pay day.
Worryingly these late spring early summer droughts seem to be happening on a regular basis here in the last decade!

As I thought this would be the week that showed it up, driving from east York’s to north lincs, acres of wheat and crops starting to tip. Some going white, under 50mm of rain in 2 months really starting to show as you drive about.

You don’t often see a combine before the Yorkshire show but I think some winter barley will be done before then

Mine shows storms this weekend, just as I want to start desiccating osr & the neighbours have lots of hay down!

Get your combine out - that usually does the trick :D:(
