Daily weather forecast update

[nashmach]

My wellingtons sprung a leak so I ventured into town and bought a new pair . I reckon that should give us two months without rain and if I bought a new rainsuit there would be dead wildebeests in the Barrow valley .

If that works you should have done it two months ago :rolleyes2:

Hell I would have even paid for them.

Absolutely soul destroying here at the moment. I had to let my frustration out on a barrel in the shed tonight.. it wasn't full.

I understand what your saying. Went out Monday evening with the wet gear on to bring cattle in from the fields fed them out some silage and went back in home about 8. Walked the fields this morning and although it had stopped raining the wind that was blowing was wicked. The fields were full of crows and I was just guessing that the earthworms had come to the surface because of the soil saturation.

I've just had a look at the new site, clicked the rainfall radar and got nothing ffs,other than the fact they are giving a few dry days there is not much sign of drying conditions with cloud persisting and more rain late Saturday and next Tuesday, I don't know what they were looking at to be giving a blast of sunshine for the next few days 48 hours ago.

It's varyi g between a slight mist , an odd shower and just deadly dull here , and a breeze that would have you pulli g the woolly hat over the ears.

Not what we were led to believe anyway.

Its crazy that this is normal now

 

[Cork]

Roches point will have to receive 80% of it monthly rainfall for every remaining month of the year for it to hit its 30 year mean of 976mm.

 

[diesel power]

Miserable out again. Misty all morning. Hard to see this 18 degrees for later today I'm hearing on the wireless

 

[Cork]

What are you saying, we haven't had enough rain so far this year yet...!!

Yep, obviously we're only 3.5 months in.

While the rainfall will not exactly hit the average figure every year, it doesn't vary that much.
Therefore, if every remaining month (of the 8.5 months) can only get 80% of its average rainfall in order to hit the annual average, the odds of getting some very dry months is very very high.

I thought we were over quota

For the months of Jan, March and April, we are well over. Feb was actually drier than normal here.

The weather has been broken now since the 19th of last July,a full 9 months. I don’t think we have ever seen that long a spell of broken weather. It will have dry up soon.

 

[greenhorn]

18 degrees here now. Any land that isnt poached is startin to dry well. Can nearly see the grass growing.

 

[Danielk]

The drying on the ploughed ground in the last few hours is unreal. Ya can see it drying. Hopefully that strong wind stays blowing a while more. Great drying

 

[Seedsower]

Huge drying here today.no rain though it threatened this morning.we seem to be escaping the worst recently tg

 

[Arthur]

The day bucked up here after a wet start, had planned to spread fertilizer but it got too windy.

 

[WestCorkBoy]

Drove from home to Mountmellick and back today, the further north the better the day was, fantastic drying up the country very little at home. We chatted about selling up and moving but said we'd give it a month and see how things shaped up.

The temperate climate in cork would be missed if u went to the cool Midlands

A flat midlands accent would also set in, people back home would think it’s Christy Moore that’s ringing them.

Hi all,

Thought this might be handy. Chart showing pressure but more importantly cloud and rainfall forecast for Saturday afternoon.
Shows rain just nudging into the far west of Ireland, but also the area of thunderstorms/showers focussed on English Midlands, Wales and NW England.

Note much uncertainty on the exact location of the storms, but local and torrential downpours are possible.

Hope this helps,
Simon
