28.2 at Prestwick yesterday and forecasted for the same today. I'm not used to this at all.

Only about one inch of rain in the last 6 weeks too.

Just read that another heat dome is about to blanked the upper Midwest of the US and western Canada. This will finish off many crops in the region. Don’t sell wheat early if it has milling quality as little will be coming out of Canada if the forecasters are right. Oilseed rape / canola has already been devastated from the endless flee beetle follower by grass hoppers the heat and no rain. Bleak times ahead for many farms. Anyone interested in 3000 acres of flat black clay loam lol

if you have only had such a small amount of rain how much grass have you currently got cowmangav?
Not a worry for me these days. I can only judge by the silage holm opposite my house. It has greened over a bit since the second cut came off about a fortnight ago, although it's had no slurry. My garden is dry as can be and I have to water a new flower border I made this spring. I notice leaves falling from the alder trees when the wind stirs.

Just managed to get some Hay yesterday but Thunderstorms now and forecast is wet for most of this coming week. Still a hundred acres of hay to make and glad I don't have any harvesting to do.

17 here & rain on its way,
East Anglia weather today:

Status : Amber (Convective Rainfall)
Forecast: Today: A band of heavy and showery rain will push up from the south this morning bringing around 10mm in an hour within heavier bursts, with the risk of some lightning strikes. The rain this morning will gradually fizzle away through Norfolk later this morning and into this afternoon. However, through this afternoon some potentially heavy and thundery showers will develop from the south, these looking to mostly stay south and west of Norfolk. The potent
showers will bring the risk of hail, fairly frequent lightning and rainfall rates of 15-20mm falling in an hour with a risk of localised flooding. Norfolk looks to stay driest through the afternoon, although the odd shower cannot be completely ruled out.
Tonight: More widespread showers pushing in from the east overnight, although these will be less intense than those earlier in the day. 24hr rainfall totals are
likely to reach 10-20mm for parts of Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Essex and London, but locally totals of up to 20-35mm is possible where the heaviest showers occur further south.
