I think even 2012 was better than fhis

 

[Jo28]

I think even 2012 was better than fhis

we certainly got more in, got half of the farm in, the other half was fallow, this year we have osr in and nothing else. the only plus from this year is that the harvest was ruined as well as the back end

 

[Werzle]

Dreadful here, waters orange with run-off mud. Watch the rugby and forget the weather for 80minutes

 

[Gong Farmer]

30mm over last 24 hrs here in West Glos. Raining now

 

[teslacoils]

Thought it was supposed to buck up after this? Three dry days then back to rain it says now.

55mm in the last 24hrs, still going.

 

[Gong Farmer]

A lot of maize still to harvest locally

No roads, only rivers ?.

[Still Farming]

Weter than ever ,starting to flood now?

 

[haymaker80]

Horrendous now and they're forecasting another 6 hours of heavy rain yet. Worse than 2012 now

 

[Fish]

Just been to ripon, both the Swale and the Ure are starting to run hard, there might a few damp feet in York.

Over thirty years ago I had a summer job in Keld, right by the Swale; the way the river could rise, even after a summer rain was frightening, saw it again later when I was based in Catterick. The volume of water in it now, with already waterlogged ground, must be enormous. Has York not got better flood defences now?
