No rain

 


It's March 20th, the equinox, when the sun rises due east and sets due west, and we've only had 19mm of rain so far.  I hope we don't make up for it in the next 10 days. Today reached 19C, the warmest day of the year so far but not a record. What is this strange weather going to do to the vine cycle?

Meanwhile, the World Meteorological Organization released its report on climate and 2024 was the hottest year in recorded history, the tenth straight year of record-making. 2024 was likely the first calendar year to be more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial era, with a global mean near-surface temperature of 1.55 ± 0.13 °C above the 1850-1900 average.
