3mm this morning and looking very dark at 7am, there seems to be plenty of rain coming across mid Wales in the next few days, but weather we'll get it is another thing.

It looked like a huge bank of rain would reach us overnight from the west, it never arrived and is now going backwards. Just 2mm here yesterday.

I’m in shock....but too late for spring barley. Will do oats the world of good. And help grain fill in wheat but that’s really needed a drink 3 weeks ago.

should kick grass and maize on.

its fecked everything since sept so I assume it will try and screw up what little we have left

 

[Breakthru]

15.5 ml for the month so far. 3 more than the whole of last month. Just as long as it stays cool with more showers should be ok.

 

[Dockers]

Was it a drought or just a lack of rain?
