North East Scotland rainfall.

[Stuart J]

Any north easters - Aberdeenshire specifically, got any rainfall data for this year since New Year?

Can't remember when we last had any significant rain. We escaped all the heavy rain the rest of the country got through January to March.

Bloody dry.

My next door neighbour records the weather every day. I'll ask him. Be interested to know too.

2.3mm so far this month. 23mm March. 30 year average 80mm.

February above average, January well below. Sorry I don't have exact figures for these months.

 

[Donkey Oaty]

129mm here since 01/01/2020 according to SEPA.

It rained for about 20mins Sunday before last. It was enough to wet the grass but not enough to wet the soil.
Can’t remember the last time before that.

Anyone looking at the sepa map should look at Allt Dearg House in Skye. And prepare for the shock of their lives?

1 mm in April to date here in North Angus. Would not have travelled on a field with anything significant a month ago, but now you all know yourselves.
Speaking to one of the Water board guys today and the reservoir that feeds Dundee has received 2.3 mm for the month. Still patches of snow feeding that reservoir at moment.
Hills are tinder box dry at moment.

 

[Hillside]

February records for us was 272mm of rain this month only 2mm and with 530mm recorded so far this year.

Which side of Elgin are you?

My friends farm near garmouth. They've really light ground.

On the news its looked like Morayshire coast been catching it but obviously not. Black here again this afternoon but doesn't want to rain. Ive just finished spraying so it can wait a few hours.

Is the barley germinated?

Nw a few miles.
Watched most of the rain either side of the farm. Normal for us to be in a rain shadow the last few years (except in harvest)
Light ground through but heavy stuff needing an absolute soaking to germinate.

we have had 14 mm start march, and 4mm since. written off most of the spring cropping, what little winter crops we had are dreadfull.
