MARCH 2012----REMARKABLE!!


Mean Max. Temp. 13.0 (4.6 above normal)


1.7 degrees higher than the average APRIL.


3 MAYS in the last 35yrs weren't as warm


RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES


The 26th & 27th both reached 21.7


In the summer of 2011 (June1 to Aug 31)


Only 5 days were warmer than 21.7!!! 


LACK OF RAIN


Only 11.7mms (14%).February was only 36%.


There has not been a drier March locally for at 


least 58yrs of Met Office records.




The mean min. temp. was 1.3 above normal, but


clear skies on many occasions led to 10 air &17


ground frosts.


There was only 1 day when snow fell & 


next morning snow depth was only 1cm.


DEFINITELY, A MARCH TO REMEMBER
