Mild Start to February

After a wet January, February has been very pleasant with plenty of sunshine.  Although the 1st started with some early morning heavy rain, it has since been mostly sunny and temperatures have been well above normal.  We first seen highs soar to 13°C on the 3rd, 12°C on the 4th and then 13 and 14°C on the 6th and 7th respectively.  A few showers returned yesterday bringing just 2.2 mm for a monthly total of 20.4 mm.  

Showers are forecast for the next several days with steady rain expected on Sunday.  Sunshine should be with us on Monday and Tuesday with temperatures around 10°C.
