There's been very poor amounts of sunshine here for the 4th month
running and for the 5th out of 6. Since the 9th only the 17th has seen
lengthy amounts (and the max that day was 6.9C).

Not as bad as last March though when there were only three days with
any sunshine during the last fortnight and I recall 2 weeks passing
without any sunshine during March 1996.

There was a bit of sun today allowing the temperature to soar to 7.6C -
the second warmest day of the month but still colder than average for
March.
