Anglia weather: Forecast: A bright start this morning, but quickly clouding over with outbreaks of rain and blustery winds moving in from the west into this afternoon, some of which could be heavy and persistent. Rain clearing this evening to leave a night of clear spells and a few showers, these most frequent across the south-east. Staying blustery, especially across exposed coasts in East Anglia, but gusts should remain below hazardous thresholds. 24hr rainfall totals reaching 5-10mm
Bump.

Still cold, wet and crap, and before anyone says its winter it doens't make it any more bareable.

Winter or not, were well up on rainfall averages. Remember the Olden days? Frosty bonfire night. Drizzle. Now it's Jetstream overhead and every weather event is half an inch.
Maybe it's rose tinted specs, but 30 years ago, I quietly spent the winter ploughing during numerous dry spells. Hell, we even planted early spuds in February some years. This year I haven't ventured out into the fields at all since September. And August/ September weren't great either, struggling to combine, struggling to bale straw, and struggling to get straw off the fields.............

I just googled crapweathershire and it said it could not be found but a map of Pembrokeshire appeared.Bump.
Even 12 months ago we had most of the winter ploughing done despite not having got much corn in. We haven't turned a furrow since November & that was 1 field since early October.

It does seem pretty certain there is some kind of climate change going on. Nearly every year now we seem to get extremes and records broken.

as of today at 5pm we have had 185mm of rain in january so far plus 117 mm in december and im more or less level with you albeit east which would normally be drier, this is the highest total for january that im aware of 166 being the highest before in 35 years but the norm/average is about 40-45so we have had 300mm which in old money is a foot when total for most years has been around under 30inch, and the land is saturated as it has never been before in my time here and despite crops well sown /established they are now starting to suffer and with this wet there is feck all i can do to help them as the soil temps are very low
