Antrim, Northern Ire, United Kingdom(Zone 8b)

for a while.

chilling north wind today bringing hail and very heavy rain. At least we had a brilliant run of fntastic weather for 3 or 4 weeks

Antrim, Northern Ire, United Kingdom(Zone 8b)

and the facts for Northern Ireland are
sunniest March since '61 averaging 5.2 hours a day.
driest March since '73
the temperature, which I dont agree with, was an average of 6.7 = 1.5 above the average BUT I had days on end of 14C with a max of 17C. I knew I should have taken notes in my diary

No hail :) .............yet at least

Yes, shame you didn't note all the unseasonal weather - but there are only so many hours in a day lol

well, it was miserrable here, but no rain to speak of, just a few little dribbles. O.K. if it's going to be overcast ,at least let it tip down with rain, I had to get out and water wityh the hose the other day ,as a lot of things were wilting.
The biggest thing I hate at this time of year is the blossom on the trees. I can guarentee without fai that when ever the cherry trees in our road break out in blossom, as they have just done, the wind comes along and blows it all off again.I was watching out of the window this morning,and loads of pink petals were flying everywhere.
Such is life!....

Extremly windy here this afternoon. Rain started at 4.30. I was out gardening - tidying up lawn edges. Had to come in. Sigh.

We got the rain today - but as we got the cold weather from the North Pole, it came as snow. Oh yeah. Our frontyard was s almost snowfree yesterday, today it looked like winter.
