Rainfall comment for Spring 2021 (March/April/May)
Another season of extreme rainfall (or lack of).
In March the rainfall was only 50% of the 8 year average. April, traditionally a dry month, recorded only 6mm and May a massive 180mm (compared to 11mm in May last year).
My records in Ashford only go back 9 years, but a look at the rainfall chart shows how erratic the monthly totals are.
