Wales had one of its wettest months of March on record

If it felt like it rained non-stop in March that's because it did. In fact according to the Met Office Wales has seen one of the wettest Marches on record.

And the clocks might have jumped forward an hour to begin British Summertime but that doesn't mean it's felt particularly summery either. In Wales we've had one of the top 10 dullest Marches on record in a series which goes back to 1910. The only 'normal' thing about the weather in March has been the temperature with Wales closing the month close to the average temperature for the month.

The data is based on early provisional Met Office statistics up to March 30. It means the weather from March 31 could affect the final totals. Even so England, Wales, and Northern Ireland have all so far had one of their respective top 10 wettest Marches on records which go back to 1836.
