Oh good more rain tomorrow - didn't want my swamp to risk drying up.

 

[Lamehorses]

We're under a weather warning for rain until 3am I have no more space to dry waterproofs between dogs & horses everything is permanently soaked

Your not winning any friends amongst those of us in the southwest, currently under a rain weather warning

Mine live out 24/7 on grass livery in a 40 acre field. It's sopping wet but bearable simply because it's such a vast space. Older one is rugged, youngster isn't but is like a wooly mammoth. They want to be out and on the extremely rare occassion they come on to the yard for something, they cart me back to the field. Everywhere in Cheshire is underwater. Never had weather this relentlessly wet. Utterly had enough of it now but it just won't stop.

I live in Cheshire and have never known weather like it. Drove home on New Year's Eve from a friend's house down the A 34 and it was really bad. The water was so deep in places my car struggled to get through.
Luckily my old boy is on retirement livery so don't have to make the 8 mile journey every day

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Wet wet wet. I just couldn't face trying to push the wheelbarrow through water sodden fields today. Heidi was totally miserable.

We’ve had a bit of dry weather today and thank goodness the flooding in the school has subsided and hasn’t caused as much damage as I was dreading. It is raining again however

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

I have an issue with the wording 'light rain showers' as thats not what we currently have, more like stair rods...and car was reading 5 degrees an hour ago!

 

[ihatework]

This is the first winter in god knows how many years that I haven’t had a horse that I’m responsible for the care. I chose a good year to have them all farmed out on loan or full livery!

To be fair we've had more than our fair share of rain weather warnings and flooding here too

I was just pleased that it had finally stopped for a few hours here.

 

[Pinkvboots]

It's chucking it down here just got horses in and it's in for the night so I will put them back out in the morning.

It's then meant to be dry but I won't hold my breath

 

[little_critter]

Torrential rain here. Water pouring off the fields and up through the drains. Even the A roads are pouring with water.

 

[daydreamer]

Absolutely chucking it down currently, started at about 6pm. The fields were already struggling even though they are normally free draining. The drain down the centre of the yard wasn't emptying when I left so God knows if the stables will flood. Absolutely ridiculous.

Yes the town centre roads on my way home just now were all very wet with huge puddles blocking them in lots of places

 

[SEL]

I was feeling guilty mine were out but all my routes are flooded so probably better they aren't stuck in stables. Hopefully the roads will drain overnight.

 

[daffy44]

Very impressive spook-busting there!

Thank you, its my warmblood dresage horse, hes five in that picture and a lot of fun.

 

[Sossigpoker]

2 out of my 3 routes to the yard are now flooded. And it's pouring down. Starting to worry about getting to the yard in the morning.

Beth Chatto’s garden near me posted these rainfall stats earlier today…..

“2023: 955.5mm
2022: 514mm
2021: 617mm
2020: 577mm
2019: 560mm
2014. 832mm

Beth began recording the rainfall from 1953/1954 (in inches) and looking back through these records today, we can see that 955.5mm for 2023 is the second highest rainfall record here since 967.5mm in 2001. Our usual rainfall totals are between 500mm - 620mm which make us one of the lowest in the UK. By comparison, Tel Aviv, Israel has 530mm on average.”

No wonder it seems wetter than usual!!

 

[Pearlsasinger]

We noticed this morning that our winter field has drained somewhat overnight. We still have mud but not as much standing water as we had yesterday.

Me too. It was supposed to have moved east by 8pm but seems stuck.

 

[Surbie]

Streaming, unending rain here. I was very impressed at cobbus's rug, under which he was toasty and dry. Less impressed with my jacket.

Our puddles are now calf depth and there's a hole in my stable roof. I hate this weather.

 

[SO1]

Thankfully on part livery pouring with rain when I left the office at 5pm and didn't go to the yard. We are lucky as not on clay at the yard and the water tends to drain well from the fields. We have yard staff living on site so no problems so even if localised flooding someone should be there to the horses in. Bert loves rolling in mud he is a real hippo and rolls in the mud patch every day. We still have grass and a large rested field to move them on to if their field gets too muddy. Next week looks dry though.

 

[Pinkvboots]

It's still chucking it down and I can see the 2 lakes that had almost gone yesterday are now back and bigger than before its really windy as well

 

[maya2008]

I figure I now have a week to get the project used to a rug, then she’ll be very happy to be dry and wearing it when it starts raining again!

Yesterday We were forecast a dry day today, now that's changed and we are forecast showers.

 

[MarvelVillis]

I get my gelding back off full loan next week. Checking the forecast and it seems like I chose the better week to have him back!

 

[Bellaboo18]

We were supposed to be having a dry week here in Cheshire but it rained last night and it's raining now I think I'll give up checking the forecast. It is supposed to be going colder at the weekend so we'll see...
