Yes, very frustrating!! Looking at the rain radar today it just hasn't moved, just been sat over the other side of the peak district all day long!

In this high wind there has been a lot of dust blowing off our the spud fields this afternoon. A field of onions has been irrigated at least twice up the road.

You can stand on (what many on here would laughingly call) our hill in blazing sunshine and watch rain follow the Trent (about a mile and a half away) all the way down to the Ouse and then watch it turn right and the follow the Humber and out to sea
All the old blokes say,"It takes a lot to make it rain in a dry time"

There’s nothing worse on a drought thread than someone complaining about too much rain. Just be thankful and keep quiet please

Be thankful for too much rain? Too much is worse than not enoughThere’s nothing worse on a drought thread than someone complaining about too much rain. Just be thankful and keep quiet please

Think the jury’s out on that one to be honest! It’s easier to add water to a field than take it away
I'm moving to Lichfield , rained all night here , calling the fire brigade .
It could do that for a week here and I would not complain !
We have been lucky enough to have some that will keep crops going another couple of weeks but it’s fundamentally so dry the ground is taking everything like blotting paper, reserve are very low, local reservoir is desperate

If we don't get enough rain we have a quick and easy harvest, crops may be lighter but at least we can get them harvested. Too much rain and we can lose everything.Think the jury’s out on that one to be honest! It’s easier to add water to a field than take it away
I've spent the last 2 days in wellies and waterproofs trying to get rid of water, 3 or 4 weeks without rain would be great.

My mate down the rd has got 38.5mm in his rain gauge from the last 24h. There was surface water on some fields this morning! Nearly gone now though as it’s dry at depth.
