January Weather was perfect
January VERY GOOD FIRST WEEK NO RAIN SECOND WEEK RAIN ON AND OFF FOR APPROX 30 MINS IN AFTERNOON
March On the whole the weather was beautiful, very warm but with a breeze so it was bearable. There was thunder and lightening most nights but no rain and was actually quite beautiful to watch. During the second weekend the weather changed (end of March, beginning of April) and we had very heavy rain each day from about 11am which did restrict what we could do.
March Hot mostly sunny. Perfect time Yo go as it was just what we were looking for

July Apart from 1.5 very wet days, it was very hot with a lovely breeze. Even on cloudy days it was pleasant. Beautiful light 7-9am and the evenings were not too humid with a breeze.
July Apart from the 3rd and 4th days when there was torrential rain all day (but the evenings were dry). Otherwise it was very hot (hitting 37 degrees one day), with a lovely breeze and the odd light shower lasting 10 mins or so. The evenings were not too humdid with a nice breeze. Very comfortable to sit out in.
