Weather Report - Jan to March 2019 summary

Dry.  There has been so little rain it seems silly to even talk about it.
January    2mm    falling on one day.
February  4.6mm falling on three days.
March      1.6mm falling on three days.

Hot.  UV extreme almost throughout.
January     46.9'C  17 days 35C or higher, 10 at 40C or higher.
February   42.2'C   8 days 35C or higher, 1 at 40'C or above
March       40.7'C  15 days 30'C or higher, 3 over 35'C.

Tough conditions.  I've been active in the garden since March.  Before then, it was watering and shade management of existing plants, the aim being survival of as many as possible.  Especially on the hottest day in January, which took more plants than any other single day.

Le sigh.
