I’m often asked this question as the British summer doesn’t always guarantee long sunny days. The short answer is yes, the scythe has no problem with the rain and you can even work with it underwater if managing a pond or river. These students on my Learn to Scythe course in Lancashire did a fantastic job and were so engrossed in scything they forgot about the weather!
The weather may knock your grass over which will make mowing more tricky but otherwise rain is no reason not to scythe your wildflower meadow.
