REPORT 

March 2015 turned out to be a fairly dry month overall with 17 days when no rainfall was experienced over Kilmersdon with a 6 day dry stretch between the 17th & 22nd largely responsible. temperatures were close to average though my village location led to night frosts which skewed the overall average to some degree to those with higher elevation than myself. Snowfall was a rare commodity with sleet rather than snow seen on more than 1 occasion with just the 2nd seeing any true snowfall albeit brief and non settling here. There was not thunder but there was high winds especially on the 31st when gusts of 45mph occurred during the early hours-quite impressive being as my station is in a sheltered village location. Sunshine amounts were fairly average with some sunshine on all days bar 6. There was little fog and no other noteworthy weather phenomenon outside of the partial eclipse on the 20th which was clearly visible here under thin cloud cover.

March Stats below.  I have changed pcs mid month, so some gremlins (no rain for month!!), and the exact same rain on day 9+10 is somewhat suspect.
