We have noticed that we are getting long dry spells then a downpour that lasts a few hours. The clouds maybe there but the rain in general is not coming. Strange to think then that we are getting wetter weather in general. The dry spells combined with showers is ideal for plant growth and we have seen an amazing developments in both tree and hedgerow planting and pasture.
The climate change experts are talking in terms of ‘global wetting’ and the forecast for a sunny 2009 seems improbable. At Stone Circle Livery we have started to monitor the weather at the livery yard to help us plan the seasons in a more effective way. It will take a while to get reliable data but at least we can see the trends and try to predict what actions to take.
