[00ctober]

Very dry so far, just 15.4mm falling which is 37% of the average for the first half of March. Rainfall has been observed (mostly drizzle) on all of the last 8 days (8th-15th) but this has amounted to under 1mm in total.

Got some rain today though (about another 4mm).

A very dry picture up here in Bathgate also, March currently at 18.6mm (the average is 74.8mm)

When you combine this with a dry February; also 18.6mm (average 80.8mm) and less than average January which had 70.4mm (average 112.2mm) 2012 is by far the driest start to the year I've recorded.
The average rainfall for the first three months of the year is 267.8mm - current 2012 is only 107.6mm - so odds on for half the average rainfall by the end of the month.

0.1mm ==== Day 09
0.4mm ==== Day 17

[Dave K]

Still running dry at 17.5 mm which is 65% of average to the 20th. EvapoTranspiration is already at 27.7 mm though so the rain won't have had much benefit for soil moisture.

[Lightning Hunter]

Currently on 26.4mm here, which is 54% of average to this date, and nothing else expected for the month.

Not looking especially dry in the New Forest yet though. All seasonal ponds and puddles still pretty full - perhaps down to April levels, but not really very noticable yet. Still puddles in laybys etc.

[grahamread]

15.3mm to-date for March, of which 12.9mm was on one day. Only 4 rain days so far this month.
7.8mm for Feb
36mm for Jan

So a very dry start to the year. Following on from just 16mm in Dec.

[Howard Kirby]

14mm so far which is a whopping 1.95mm more that March 2011 total. But still only about 20% average.

[Ian Williams]

Just 29.4 mm for me at St Germans SE Cornwall this is just 34.0% of normal and my driest March on record. This came from just 11 recordable days with 12.2 mm falling in the early hours of the 4th making it my wettest day.

[Andy Mayhew]

15.1mm of which 9.3mm fell on my birthday (4th)
