It's a lovely day now. Shame the preceding 12 hours were so awful.

Raining .

 

[Deere342]

Just arrived here too, just fetched the washing in! That well known farming task!!!

 

[Wellytrack]

Shorter days. Cauld nights. Sodden grazing. Cuts not taken. And I heard the weather presenter utter that word - 'Autumnal'.


Fudging depressing.

Had a dry day until tea time when a big cloud dumped 5 mm on us in about 5 mins.
Sounds like we're going to get the tail end of a hurricane on Sunday.

 

[Old Boar]

Thunder and lightening last night, with loads more rain. Forecast today was for a dry day, shame it hammered down again. I cannot even walk on the lawn, let alone cut it!

 

[Bury the Trash]

Carp.

 

[Keirkid]

Raining again 4 days without rain this month ground soaking not much fun farming in this.

Anyone else feel that this bulletin is somewhat out of touch with the reality on farms in the north and west?

 

[Cowmangav]

90.5 mm August rain to the 17th.

In 2012 by this time , it was drying up and we completed our 1st cut.

 

[Gong Farmer]

Heavy rainstorm with hail just now.
When I did the weather records for work some time ago August was always the second wettest month of the year, but that was due to how much fell in the isolated thunderstorms towards the end of the month i.e. not that many rain days. This August is a bit different.

 

[franklin]

Showery. We had all of July and Augusts rain a fortnight ago. We are now over average for rainfall to date.

 

[DRC]

Raining heavily here again .

 

[bobk]

Nothing here yet
