Longridge Reservoirs Still Full

It's official. March 2012 was the sunniest, driest on record in the UK. NW England received only 27% of the average monthly rainfall. The NW had 155.4 hours of sunshine, that's 168% of the usual sunshine we'd expect in Granada Region. The region only had 29.6mm rain which is 27% of the normal amount of rainfall we'd expect for the month. However as seen from Hill Top, Longridge, the Spade Mill Reservoirs and Alston Reservoirs are still full so no hose pipe ban here. The new Hen Houses are bedding into their setting now too.
