Toquerville received 2.16 inches of rain in March, 7.70 inches since January 1st, which exceeds our annual average. This amount of rainfall is about triple what is normal for the end of March.
Average wind speed for March was 21 mph, a little above last year. And we had 12 days with winds above 20 mph, about the same as last year.
The average high temperature for the month was 60 degrees, the average low was 40 degrees. For 2009 it was 64 degrees for the avg high and 40 degrees for the avg low.
The average wind speed for the month was 21 mph. The average for 2009 was 18 mph
Average humidity for the month was 37%
The El Nino weather pattern continues to dominate the Toquerville weather. The jet stream tracks far south of its normal position, which brings in these southerly, wet, Pacific storms, thus the increased rain we have received. The El Nino pattern typically continues up to, or into, the month of June.
April 1st is Toquerville’s typical frost free date, which is interesting, because April 1st could be one of our colder days, and nights, of the season.
Interestingly, our last freeze occurred on February 26th. The low temperatures for the month of March was 34 degrees on March 12th. It should be safe to plant any garden crops now.
