Daily weather forecast update

Rained very little till 4 this evening here and then an absolute downpour at 5 :boat::boat:, three miles up the road, and place was bone dry.
 
We seem to be getting away with murder here. 2 or 3 light showers since Saturday morning. Slight mist here now but it won’t even register in the rain gauge

I was harvesting until midday yesterday and had to stop with the rain, it hasn't let up since except for an hour maybe. But ten miles away there was no rain at all. Just as the moistures were starting to fall too. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Looking good until Tuesday evening now, was giving rain here on Sunday but it's disappeared now. Contactor has a lot on so im going to wait for another chance now anyway.
 
Some of you lads are looking at weather for harvesting over the next few days. I don't think it's going to be as bad as has been talked about. Certainly, most of the eastern half of the country is going to stay fairly dry.

Tomorrow rain will affect coastal counties on the west and move a little inland.

Wednesday will be reasonable enough with just the chance of an isolated shower.

Thursday is going to see more of a chance of showers hitting the east of the country. But you need to look at the key at the bottom of the chart to see that the amount iof rainfall on thursday will be minimal. It will be isolated showers at worst.

Signs of heavier rain crossing the country on friday but its too far away to be accurate yet. It could change a lot by then.


Also, there are some hints of of a ridge of high pressure beyond 7 days from now. Only hints - a lot can happen to push that ridge away from us. But, as I mentioned in previous weather posts, our weather has a tendency to repeat itself in cycles (2018, 2006, etc). The one repeat weather event that we all have memories of is good weather when children goes back to school. It doesn't happen by accident, it happens because weather repeats itself - hopefully this is one of those years where we might see a dry spell in early september.
 
Forewarning for what looks like an intense band of rain over the southern and eastern half of the country friday evening, night and into early saturday morning. The way that it looks on the chart shows prolonged periods of rain with up to 10mm/hour at times for up to a 12 hour period. Spot flooding is highly likely.
 
It has just stopped raining here now and we have had 15mm in the last 12hours,finished bailing last night and can't get in today to get them out
