Your current weather.

Wet and windy here, the weather patterns seem to be well and truly broken this year, I dread to think what is the rest of the year going to have in store for us?

Isn’t it sodding annoying when we have conflicting weather forecasts, with hay still to cut and Barley about ready to harvest?

The BBC said dull here today, brighter tomorrow then sunny Tues, Wed and Thursday, with rain showers on Thursday night into Friday. Then sunny periods fro the next week.
Now it says cloudy Wednesday and Thursday. But more promising the next week.

Accuweather says there could be a couple of showers today, one tomorrow the good till Thursday, which will be dull, before rain on Friday.

Both say windy today and tomorrow.

Do I cut today and risk the chance of a shower, but take advantage of the wind and hope that the sunny periods that both say will happen Monday and Tuesday, hoping it continues into Wednesday and Thursday to get it baled and carted?

Or do I sit on my arse for a week, further squeezing hay making and harvest together?
 
The outlook seems better for England, Wales but the same old story up in Scotland, showers with rain inbetween, all the good weather is long gone now and only first cut dairymen got the benefit, so still nearly all hay to be made and no hay weather in the forecast this month, just turning in to a useless summer as normal, dull, cold and showery after all that rain yesterday.
