Not very useful for the Globull warmers tho is it if there is a logical explanation for this sh!t weather .Interesting article on the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption, showing how much water vapour was ejected into the atmosphere:
Hunga Tonga Volcano is "Most Likely" Cause of Recent Warm Temperatures – The Daily Sceptic
The Hunga Tonga underwater volcanic eruption in January 2022 that boosted stratospheric water vapour by a massive 10% is the most likely cause of the recent warm temperatures, according to scientist Dr Javier Vinós.dailysceptic.org
The killer chart is this one, that shows not only how much water vapour is in the atmosphere compared to normal, but how it has migrated latitudinally from the volcano position just south of the equator. We in the northern hemisphere can count ourselves lucky, the majority went south.

Judging by the above I'd say there's several years of above average rainfall still to come before things get back to normal.
I know farming (arable especially) has to work around the weather but we are literally down to snatching minutes at the moment before it rains again. Sunday and tuesday were really nice days here but we had to wait until almost dark to do anything of value without making "too much" of a mess, we still made a mess. Neighbours were out late last night as it was likely the last "dry" window for a week but I just couldnt make myself go back out after 8pm and try more spraying. Nearly got stuck last time I went out in the darkSorry for moaning but I'm fed up of the rain.. We have had one or two days where it's been nice. Land dries up then rain again and it's saturated.
With it being so wet for so long any plants in the ground will have a very compromised root system. Smaller plants even more so as their roots will be very shallow.Don’t worry, it will only take a week of no rain & the “drought” threads will start appearing again
This has been my main concern for the last few years, wet autumns and winters, very shallow roots, dries up in the spring and we're on light land. Within 2 weeks crops suddenly are restricted on waterWith it being so wet for so long any plants in the ground will have a very compromised root system. Smaller plants even more so as their roots will be very shallow.
It won't be a drought but when it does stop it is going to be an issue in a very short space of time.
In wet times you should be planning your irrigation and in dry times you should make sure your drains are in good order.
Is australia getting extra rain?Don’t worry, it will only take a week of no rain & the “drought” threads will start appearing again
Down here, it is just us that we are not used to the sheer volumes of rain we have experienced, but the soils as well.Up here in the west coast of Scotland - we are used to a lot of rain. However, it has been as bad as winter here as I can remember. It feels like it hasn't stopped raining since June 2023. However the topography means that the fields don't flood as in other areas. never thought I'd be thankful for an upland farm in a LFA!
Yep, that's why it isn't on the news.Not very useful for the Globull warmers tho is it if there is a logical explanation for this sh!t weather .
Unless they just tax us a bit more with green taxes ,then that might stop the volcanoes erupting ...
Heard it here first folks ! The bob has spokenPicking up next week , so less bad , nice weekend and warm
