When is it going to rain ?

[Wombat]

Could you do that again ,now please Wombat

If it wasn;t for Covid we were going to be but everythign is cancelled. I can always try taking a tent down one of the fields if u want

 

[Gormers]

2018 it broke the weekend we went Kendal calling. Hadn’t rained in months until the weekend I went to sleep in a tent ?‍

Pop up tent on its way @Wombat

 

[Kidds]

If it is any help I am going to go and set up an irrigation system. That usually sets the rain off.

 

[Wombat]

I am cutting grass this week and there is already some showers appeared on the bbc weather forecast

I had been wondering if Greta and her cronies are wrong and wether we actually need the "pollution cloud" to shelter us from the sun and aid the formation of rain clouds....

So it obviously never rained before the industrial revolution, and the whole planet was a desert.?

Ooh, now there's a thought. Greta is truly wrong and the industrial revolution actually brought green fields, rain and sensible temperatures! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I cut for hay last week trying to make it rain. That's the forth time this year i have had the mower out to make it rain. I now have two lots of silage done and two lots of hay. None has seen a drop of rain and neither have the aftermaths. I'll get the combine out tomorrow and get the header on, that should work!!!

Tuesday. Wind changing from southerly to northerly. 7mm forecast.

 

[Manny]

That will be 7mm more than we have had in May if it comes!

Yes a natural fungicide, getting blackspot in roses now due to the lack of it.

is that for the month of may or year? will roots from crops be able to reach moisture from dung that was ploughed in? or will it be too far down?

It's quite a large place it varies somewhat depending on what area your in.

East coast and Morayshire seems to have had least, it's been coming in from West and petered out before its reached us. It sounds like Morayshire and Fife have had less than us. We had a relatively dry winter, as again weather systems coming in from the West never reached us.

Tomorrow is looking promising according to the met office, hopefully they haven’t just ran out of little sun pictures to put on the forcast:

Looked on my phone weather forecast and the only dry day here for the next 9 days is friday!
Tell a lie next tuesday has changed to just cloudy!
Anyway I hope we get a few reasonable showers over the next few days!
