This winter has been weird on the Scottish hills. On two flights the snow cover was complete – something I don’t see every year. In between, and before and after, there was very little snow. Lately a more normal cover.
Much more east and south wind than before 2020. And where I live lots of dry days.
March in England was very wet = wettest since 1981. [The March rainfall total for England was 119.2mm which represents 180% of the 1961 to 1990 long term average (LTA) for the time of year (204% of the 1991 to 2020 LTA)].
Some people with grass airfield bases have really suffered; I’ve got two renewal tests still waiting for their airfield to be usable.
Is it just the UK, or has the 2022/2023 winter been exceptionally horrible everywhere?
So, just UK then.
Around here it has been much colder than it has been the last 20-30 years.
