Warmest being 10.2C in 2003. 2012 was 9.8C. This year looks like ending up at 9.8C or 9.9C.


Mean temperature at 9.7C (29th) and that makes it the warmest March
since before 2005.

I am a little surprised by this. Must be the lack of sunshine that has
given the opposite impression.

I suspect given the forecast it will end up a little higher than that.

Sunshine has recovered a bit recently but still well below normal with
94 hours.
