Summary for March 2023

A little warmer, very wet and extremely dull month. The dullest of any March in my record going back to 2006 with less than half of the eLTA sunshine. At 19% of the total available sunshine this is also the lowest figure for any month in my record beating the previous of June 2012 (20%). The warmest March since 2019 (9.5°C) and the wettest since the wettest of all March months in 2018 (179 mm). Grim.

It can only get better.
