It’s too dry!

[Yale]

Getting dire here in South East Wales, we've had no real rain since February, only the promise of rain in the forecast for it to amount to nothing but a dust suppresser.
The streams that the stock drink from are running at barely a trickle so I'm having to constantly fill IBCs for the drinking troughs, a task usually done in a dry mid summer.
Luckily I'm still getting heavy dew in the morning that's helping the grass but the cattle and sheeps are eating it faster than it can grow. What has happened to spring and April showers? Now the forecast is for a mini heatwave and no rain in the next couple of weeks...I hope they're wrong or I'm heading for deep sh!t creek.

Us gogs in the North must have been doing the proper rain dance as we’ve had a good drop.It’s a peculiarity of our area catching rain on a North Westerly.

You guys are further from the high pressure, you will get bits and pieces, but as it heads south the high pressure kills the weather fronts

Finally it's raining!
My arse can stop twitching for a bit now...hopefully the grass will bulk up and the streams fill.

Had enough rain now , but feeling smug after rushing to get seed in yesterday, nice when things go right

Happy for a couple of days like we’re getting here, not heavy, but at least it’s wet

I’m feeling very satisfied that the silage is sealed in the clamp and the designated clamp is full of ‘rocket fuel’. Yesterday’s spread slurry nicely washed in overnight and going on the slurry again this afternoon.
