As predicted storm ‘Katie’ brought many hours of rain totalling 30.7mm bringing the total for March to 88.7mm, which so far makes it the third wettest March since my records began in 1984. As Katie approached a peak gust of 48mph was recorded just after midnight, at 00.43. The barometric pressure continued to fall with a low of 970.3mb at 05.18, the lowest reading since 8th November 2010. Shortly afterwards the wind veered from the south to the west and the temperature dropped over 5C in an hour when wet snow was observed in the rainfall.
