In a post on Sunday, Clarkson shared a screenshot of the weather forecast for the next few days, showing the temperature hitting 29 degrees Celsius in Chipping Norton.
Underneath the snap, he wrote: “Harvest already f***ed. May as well just enjoy it now.”
Fans in the comments rushed to offer words of support to Clarkson and the UK’s farmers, with many praying for “desperately needed” rain.
While Clarkson often tries to put a positive spin on the farming experience, the weather is likely causing considerable concern – particularly after his harvest in series five was impacted severely by the climate.
The TV presenter has also shared how much he enjoys harvesting his fields, despite not knowing how the crops will have turned out
“Some jobs on the farm are unpleasant….But I’ve been harvesting all week, and this job is an absolute joy.”
His harvest frustration comes after weather conditions have left farmers reeling nationwide, with punishingly long droughts contributing to considerable financial losses and fears over UK-grown shortages this autumn, which may cause ‘shrinkflation’ in supermarkets.
