The first half of 2019 has been slightly wet with rainfall above the long-term average for the period. The rainfall for the first half was 6.2 inches below 2018 for the same period because 4 of the six months had slightly below average rainfall. The winter temperature (December to February) was 0.78 degrees warmer than the average while the spring months (March to May) were 0.45 degrees warmer than the average. Sunshine hours have been above average for the first half of the year except for April and May.
