Rain Ranting Thread

I wish you could all send some of your rain over here to South Australia. We haven't had any decent rain for about 8 months, all the paddocks are bare, there is a massive hay shortage and even the crappiest hay is getting impossible to find. I'm down to my last 30 bales, after that I am going to have to resort to feeding straw! I basically live in the wettest part of the country, it's never this dry so everyone is getting a bit worried.

Mabey you could all give your rain a stern talking to and tell it to bugger off to where its actually needed 🤣
 
BBC weather said that the UK as a whole hasn’t had 5 dry consecutive days since January - it’s rained everyday somewhere in the uk. I don’t know how this compares to the “normal” (if there’s such a thing as normal with the weather anymore), but I’m guessing it’s not, otherwise what’s the point in mentioning it.
 
Field behind us cut haylege over a week ago so that’s a positive, my field is being harrowed at the weekend, sadly though even a gentle potter round the block is resulting in us returning looking like we’ve done a day’s hunting, hoof boots are going through the washing machine on a weekly basis!
 
Just waiting for a few days forecast dry to cut our haylege.The grass has really pushed on through May We like to make haylege that is quite dry almost wrapped hay.Fingers crossed the settled weather forecast for the weekend early next week actually happens
 
It was cold and cloudy when I let the dogs out at 7 am but it sunny now and the wind has dropped thought still only about 15 degrees,!
 
It’s cold here. I almost put the heating on last night. It’s not raining but it’s just so grey it’s depressing 😔 I don’t think I want to continue living in this country if this is the weather frok
now on!!
 
It's cold here as well. I have the heating on. Back in about 1976 I do remember it snowing on the first of June and then we had a very long hot summer. Don't need another one of those but some warmth would be nice.
 
Cold and windy here - supposed to be on day 2 of getting horse back in work today but it simply isn’t safe to bring him up our lane today as branches are coming down all over the place 🤦‍♀️

I've resisted the last few days but couldn't help myself today. It's blowing a hooley, raining and cold. Stupidly put the horses out rugless - they were not best pleased and spent all afternoon trying to get back in !!!!!!
 
sunny here this morning but I am at work typically! Heavy rain due from 12 all afternoon though - when will it end?! I’ve brought the horses in in preparation!
 
Forecast to start heavy rain here at lunchtime. Tacked up & ready at 1100. Tipped down, so waited, then it stopped, so we got on with it. As soon as I was on it started again. Just a shower, it's not meant to start til later.
Rain gets heavier & bigger & then we're both drenched.
Dave had lunch & then out in an absolute downpour. Since then, we've had thunder, hail, heavy rain & hot sunshine in some bizarre cycle. Yes hail.
