Is it raining ?.... anywhere

[GTB]

The crops needed it.

I was secretly hoping for a 1976 style drought though, I must admit.

Don't really know why. Maybe it's due to the last few years of difficult harvests.

I need to get the spring barley in and it's too effing wet!

Not had what you could call steady rain here yet but I do remember 2002 was an awful wet summer as well.
Think we were 150-200% of average rainfall. First and only time I've had Spring barley in the 25% screenings region.

Can't remember if that Spring was dry or not though.

Cold and wet that year. Planted 50 acres of organic spuds, and only harvested 100 T off the whole lot.

Only had a grand total of 1.5 mm in a week, so no. Now it looks like the Wednesday rain may not get here either.

sorry I meant the crop under the outfall in your picture, got to find some humour in this desert

Another 20mm this afternoon. The river is up to its banks now.

Reached 85mm in total and has stopped now. River over its banks.

Next week looks good and it'll be a better crop by then if it hasn't gone too far. Every cloud.

Rain coming down just nice and steady looks like it will be like this all day lovely jubbly .

 

[Henarar]

getting wet now, we have had enough can someone turn the tap off

 

[Ali_Maxxum]

Always the same, we need a bit, we get it, it doesn't know when to stop, we say we've had to much a pray for it stop again.... I remember seeing a post earlier on about the pattern - 2007, 2012, 2017..... Sent my anxiety levels soaring!

Send a bit up here will you? Still nothing significant; a minor shower or two on Monday rather than the day of rain forecast. Sowing 20ha of bloody expensive grass/vetch/herb mix today so hoping for a bit of rain shortly. About a third of a field of barley has already burnt off.
The weather has now changed from cold and dry to hot/humid and dry and I'm stuck in my ancient JD4055 sans aircon- basically a greenhouse on big tyres.

 

[MrNoo]

Been raining steadily all morning here, be happy for to continue all day! Hope those that haven't had any get some soon.

 

[Adeptandy]

Finally getting some, last 24 hours to 8am this morning 8mm, 2mm since then, fluctuating between drizzle to light rain, still hoping for the 26mm today as forecast, but it's soon got to get on with it

 

[GTB]

Getting late enough. Combining in October!

Usually sow mid may and put it in the clamp with the second cut silage mid/late august.

 

[slackjawedyokel]

Ugh; the showers that this morning were forecast for tomorrow and Saturday have now evaporated; no rain forecast now in the next 10 days

 

[jondear]

19 mm in last 24 hrs .Slowly moving on now still raining though .THATS ENOUGH NOW need to get on!

 

[DrWazzock]

We have had plenty now. Wouldn't matter if didn't rain again this side of harvest.
