6mm already in the first 12hours of April!
Double my March total!
Nice Macedonian - hopefully the first mms of many for you!
Only a few spots here so far, but radar and progs are promising. The sky is looking very volatile.
Just had a quick check of our 28 years of records. We recorded just 1.5mm for March, which makes it not only our driest March, but also our driest month - previous 'record' was 2mm in Jan 2009. The only saving grace is that March is statistically our driest month anyway, so it 'feels' a lot better than, say, a dry October.
No doubt there will be many more 'driest March' records for places with a lot longer datasets - like Ballarat for instance, where I believe the 0.8mm total is second only to 0mm in 1923!
