Long range forecast​

Saturday 1 Jun - Monday 10 Jun​

During the outlook period, the weather will turn more settled as high pressure builds in from the west. A few showers could still develop in places like the southeast during Saturday and Sunday afternoons, but for most it will be a dry weekend with periods of sunshine. It will feel warm with light winds, but it will feel cooler near the coast where onshore sea breezes develop. This fair weather is likely to continue for a few days into the following week, but thereafter the outlook becomes more uncertain. The south of the UK will probably be drier, although not ruling out scattered showers completely. Cooler and cloudier further northwest, where rain is more likely. Temperatures will probably be around normal or a little above average.

Tuesday 11 Jun - Tuesday 25 Jun​

Current indications are that the chances of high pressure or low pressure dominating are fairly balanced for this period. There is no strong signal for either dry or wet conditions being the more prominent feature of the weather. On balance, it is probable that a continuation of variable, slow moving weather patterns are likely through much of June, similar to that which has been experienced through May. However with potentially slow moving weather systems there is still a chance that longer-lived drier, or even wetter, spells are entirely possible too. Temperatures are most likely to be around or above normal.

ay there’s a couple of fields that I’m not sure we will manage to cut this time. Last year they were dry underneath to start with before the rain came whereas this year there sodden and it just keeps raining. Still got a lot of cows in yet, getting sick of looking at them now but don’t really want them to plough the place up either.

In the same boat we keep putting them out on with that today but still have 60 odd in of one description or another. A week ago it looked like we were holding the job up now they are making a mess. Was on putting muck on yesterday we have at least 10 fields we can’t get into due it being too wet, most of it will be going on in August if it’s dry enough to travel. Those fields are too wet to get fert on haven’t been able to travel on them for a lot of months now. Funny old job

Discussing knocking grass off later in the week, and Herself even asked if I would be able to travel.... The one block will definitely be relying on the cattle to eat off the unmown stuff as a tidy-up.

Haymaking is looking iffy, I had hoped to get some next month...

aka, "We really haven't a clue what's going to happen!"

Bit like those long range forecasts for January.... "It will be cold with possibilities of frost, rain and snow"

Last week I saw a forecast that said there was an above average chance of a hot summer, they couldn't forecast what day of the week .

 

[ffukedfarmer]

They’re never right when they call it a barbecue summer ahead so I’m not concerned just yet

Precisely, for any longer than a week you might as well look at long term averages. But even that is an improvement - until quite recently a 3 day forecast was the best that could be done.
