March was very unlike a Spring month and once again came out as one of the driest and warmest since records began! There were only 4 air frosts the lowest temperature was minus 2.7c/27f on the 19th. There were 15 ground frosts however. The month was dominated by High pressure on the whole ,hence the settled condition. There was some large "Diurnal" temperatures during the second half of the month, for instance the months highest temperature was on the 28th at 21.9c/72f after a morning temperature of about minus 1c/30f, a 23 degrees temperature difference within about 9 hours! Rainfall again was very much below the average of 57mms and recorded was just 16.2c/61f! Average daily temperatures were way above the March average of 9.6c/49f and recorded was 14.2c/57f . The average night temperature was closer to the average of 2.7c/36f thanks mainly to the clear calm nights and recorded night was 3.2c/39f. Overall, a very benign, month!
