Getting dry

[Wombat]

Nothing here and none really forecast.

Was looking like a reasonable little bit on the forecast this morning, now it’s evaporated to a bit of light drizzle all week

Won't be enough to stop my weekly jobs I'm sure.

It will rain a week on Monday, I have concrete booked for a bit of the yard, and it loves to make it a swimming pool every time I try and fill it

Steady rain/ heavy drizzle here in east cambs right now. Spuds are just poking through in a few local fields and wheat has been irrigated down the road for the last week. Fingers crossed theres enough to do a bit of good

25 mm overnight and a few thunderstorms today bringing localised rain...... Extase has started going down !!

Bragging or complaining

Looking at my records we seem to be short about 200mm for the year so far.
Really appreciated the soaking we had on the 1st.

I’d be like a dog with 2 dicks if we were short 200mm in a year as long as we got some at key growing points

Yip. 300mm a year, spread out, would do fine.

 

[MrNoo]

Had 5mm Sat night then we caught a couple of storms in the night so another 19mm, which will do the world of good

 

[Wombat]

A nice 7mm according to the local weather station 22mm in May now. 25mm in April

Absolutely nothing in South Norfolk!

 

[ZXR17]

A much needed 13.5mm yesterday

 

[Fish]

11mm last night, that’s now 24mm for May.

 

[teslacoils]

6mm. So that takes us to one inch since 15 march. But another inch mid June and one in early july would be quite adequate.

Was about 12mm forecast for overnight but only got half that, looks like we could get some more though today though.
Keeping stuff ticking over quite nicely, fodder beet are now visible down the rows and there’s a green haze over of canary seed so that’s promising.
