Continuing our season of little winter, March was very warm - possibly breaking the record of most days in the month with high's above 80. March was also one of the driest in recent history, which could cause trouble because April is traditionally the driest month of the year. In this area, April showers do not bring May flowers.
The red line is the normal high and the blue line is the normal low. As you can see, for a large part of the month, our average daily temperature was at or above the normal high.
Rainfall for the second consecutive month was the lowest since 2008
The year to date rainfall is much lower than normal
Looking at trends shows the running 3 month total is much lower than normal as well.
The 12 month running total however, isn't anywhere as bad as it was in February of last year.
