Re: Soggy March

Same here Nick.

1st to 11th March

Rain 80.2 mm (My 30yr average for March is 91.3 mm)
Mean max 8.1°C
Mean min 2.5°C

I'm fed up with squelching around my garden
and coastal paths are mostly mud baths.

Re: First significant winter snowfall on Wirral

Also here Chris.
We caught a heavy snow shower for 30 mins here at 1830 UTC.
It gave a proper covering on the frozen surfaces.
The first time this has happened since 2010.

Snowfall settling on the south Devon coast is a bit of a rarity.

All looking very pretty.

Re: February Sunshine

I agree Nick, nice and sunny Feb.
My records from solar panels only go back to 2012, but Feb. 2018 may be a record.
It nearly beats 2014, with 3 days to go.

Re: A wet end to December 2017

139.7 mm total for month in the end.
118% of 30-year average.

It was a wet Christmas /New Year period, 81 mm in last 6 days of Dec.
Coastal paths are a muddy quagmire in places.

A wet end to December 2017

Yesterday it passes 100 mm total for the month. Not unusual for December here. Average since 1985 is 111 mm. But the last few days to New Year are forecast to be very wet so the total is going to be well above average. Such a contrast to last December when we only had 35 mm. Max of 277 mm in 2012! W...
