Early this morning a few drops of rain fell totalling just 0.1mm, a few drops in the bottom of my rainfall measuring jar from the 5inch copper rainfall gauge. This brings the total for March to 0.5mm but evaporation from plant life and ground sources has now risen to 34mm, which is over half the March average rainfall.
Yesterday was mainly overcast with just four minutes of strong sunshine, the lowest daily sunshine count this month, which brings the monthly total to 95.6 hours.
This morning was predominantly cloudy with the sun braking through just after midday.
