We will go with Megan Mitchell’s reading of .03 of an inch of rain for the month in Sandy Bay, since it was likely accurate and about average for the island. This was the driest March since records started being kept in 1994 and well below the average of 3.42 inches. This was after an unusually dry February, so my cistern is complaining because I rely on rainfall since the powers that be in Jonesville Point refuse to let me share the well (that’s a story for another day).
April is our driest month of the year on average, with only an inch and a half. The long-range forecast is trying to give us some hope of rain, especially toward the middle of the month, but we’ve been deceived before. So it looks like those water trucks will be staying busy.
