10th of March , next 10 days is shite , turning in to the year of shiteness , El Nino can fo .

 

[Northeastfarmer]

It’s been shite since September ….another 10 days of shiteness wont make any difference

 

[Sonoftheheir]

2 nearly lovely days (sun out, till it clouded over with quite a strong cold SE wind) and it’s soaking again.

I thought I read somewhere that El Niño ends in April. I hope so or I’m getting a different job. Arable farming is becoming a pointless exercise here.

Few days dry have given us half a chance, or a false sense of spring

It’s looking like spring crops on heavy land will be planted late now and be a waste of time come harvest.

Supposed to have been a day of showery rain. Been persisting down all day. Just had our 22nd flood warning of the winter from the EA

What are El Niño and La Niña, and how do they change the weather?

Global temperatures and rain patterns are affected by a climate phenomenon known as El Niño/La Niña.
