Yes, but March has been much drier than your long term forecast. In Maidstone we have hardly had a drop for over two weeks, my veg plot is quite dry! You forecast a wetter than average month, what went wrong?

The first part of the month was actually wetter than average, but the dry spell has pulled it back to below average. This final week of the month is looking unsettled though, which may well bring it up toward or above the average again though, so I wouldn't pass judgement yet!

Always bear in mind though that although our lrf's have been very solid in recent times, they, along with all other lrf's are certainly not infallible as it's a relatively new and un-exact science.

Cheers Paul, that's an interesting site.
