Looks like our day maximum is going to be 18.4degC ... just beating the
18.1degC on 31st March. Very pleasant out there for the gardening ...
but we *do* need some rain; with Dew Points around 4degC, and a steady
wind running, the newly broken soil is drying rapidly - and in sheltered
parts of the garden (which would normally be damp at this time of year),
there is no notable 'dampness' available.

Hi Martin,

I'm glad someone else has noted this, I found it very odd that we struggled
to dig a small, in depth, but long trench on Easter Monday in the garden to
lay some armoured cable. Given the forecast of what could easily be
explained as a cyclonic southerly, I am sure we will not have problems come
this time next week.

ATB, Joe
