Yesterday was cloudy, breezy and mild, with some drizzly rain at times. Today started similarly, but the sun broke through late in the day to give some pleasant afternoon sunshine. The 30cm soil temperature hit 10.1C today, so we can expect things to start growing apace in the garden.
The most to note about March was the low rainfall - only 11.6mm fell - 25% of the 1981-2011 average of 47mm.
