Indeed, but they were both followed by mediocre Summers. So although I'd like it warm, I'd be prepared to set that wish aside in favour of a warm dry Summer.

“Yes, I did think I might be close to the centre of that storm, as in the early hours for a short time it suddenly went very quiet and a lot less windy before picking up again.
I've recorded 63mm this March, so a little bit above the 50mm monthly average for my location. Nearly half that rain fell on just the one day though, 9th March.”
I estimated that the centre of Katie passed East North East over England, somewhere between Reading and Rugby, so that puts Bucks right in there. You missed most of the rain though.
9th March was a strange day. Very wet amongst an otherwise very dry spell.
