But it is the low soil temperatures that I find interesting.
At 1800 UTC:
50cm +3.0C
30cm +2.7C

Soil Temps today (1st)
30 cm = 7.0°C
100 cm = 8.3°C

My 30 cm soil temperature has now started to rise from a low of 6.4 on the
28th, presumably because of the recent run of quite sunny days.

On the 9th March the 30 cm temperature surpassed the 100 cm temperature
and reached a high of 9.2°C before falling back with a series of cold
nights (12th - 15th). The lowest 30 cm March temperature was 6.0°C on the
1st.

30 cm soil temperature here is 5.1. Lowest in March was 4.1 at the start of
the month, rising to 7.0 on 10th after the very brief mild spell (very
temporary grass growth) then a rapid decline back to 5.0 by 15th. Rest of
the month in the 5.0 to 5.9 range, levelling back at 5.0 from 27th to 31st.
Ground is now dry on the surface, with nothing growing - a great concern for
the farming community.
