When is it going to rain ?

[jd2013]

Still dry, maybe Sunday.

Careful what you wish for!

Seriously it wouldnt be a problem, the bonus of clay below high tide level, if fact with no OSR drilling going to happen last week of Oct would be ok.

What part of the world are you ?

Worcestershire. It rained! Could still do with a bit more, but the grass fields look greener, the lawn is growing and some of the bare brown gaps in the fields have diminished. Thank goodness.

We have had 200mm in 9 days here,that will do for now.Dont think I can remember having that much in such a short time for a long time,if ever.

 

[Frank-the-Wool]

You have all been very lucky. We have have had 14 mm in the last 5 weeks.

 

[Pluto]

Not much different here, and with the forecast don’t think it will last very long.

 

[Frank-the-Wool]

We have had 1.5 mm more now. At least it is cooler and the grass isn't burning off again.

 

[Scholsey]

Getting seriously dry here now with nothing substantial forecast for the next fortnight

We definitely had a drought here in May last year and we were far wetter this time last year so has potential to be far worse!

 

[Sandy]

You can have ours if you want snow for later today mon/Tuesday

 

[MrNoo]

Plenty of moisture here, got some areas that are still too wet to plant so drilled around them.

So do we but it’s about a month since it rained here and as you drive about some of the light land that got rained on all winter is suffering

Its compaction, found out last year how much compaction just rain on its own can do to lighter land, even land left after ploughing.

 

[Still Farming]

If you remember we had drought conditions most of April last year.

 

[Frank-the-Wool]

We are also very dry now and no sign of any rain.
Already looks like a repeat of last year but colder.

We only get two seasons now, drought from March to September and Flood from October to February and nothing in between.

 

[Nearly]

Tomorrow apparently.
Same as forecast for the last 3 weekends, but next door to nothing.
Mini-me going out later with a bit more N for the barley.
Two chances.

 

[Sonoftheheir]

Wet here down about 6”, it’s the cold temps coming, 4-5c in the day and -3-4 at night

Could do with 5mm of rain to help the beet germinate.

 

[roscoe erf]

bloody hell its right all you farmers do is whinge

 

[teslacoils]

Be careful what you wish for.

When will it stop raining

Fact: the moons circuit of the Earth brings it closer every 32 years. I originally thought 30 but a marine biologist corrected me. Super Moons recently, surely you saw it on the news within the last couple of years. 1953 major floods Northumberland and Lincolnshire. Google the floods in Lincs in...
