Monthly total (1st - 16th) now up to 114 mm Len. That is pretty extreme for here and exceptional for March which is normally part of the seasonal 'drying out' time of year.

Len, 5 hours of sunshine today and coupled with yesterday's unbroken sunshine all day, the total is now up to 122 hours. My February 2008 record of 130 hours could be beaten. A rather chilly one today, a maximum of only 3.6°C making it the coldest day maximum since 3.3°C on the 11th February 2017. I...
