.... as of 01/0900Z MAR, 30-day total here now 48.3mm.

This has been the driest month (39.4mm) /just/ since May last year (39.2mm)

Total for winter (DJF) = 333mm (132% eLTA 1981-2010), our wettest such
here, but only records since 2007/08.

In the adjacent Hurn record, the (provisional) winter total = 330 mm
(133% of the all-series mean 1957-2012): wettest winter in their record
since 2000/2001, and in that 1957+ series, there have been 9 wetter
winters - including of course a notable sequence of such in the
second-half of the 1970s.
