Anybody got any long range weather prediction for March?

I think there is likely to be some sun, some cloud, some wind,and some rain . Not necessarily altogether though.

Monday 2 March – Sunday 15 March
Briefly drier, then wet and windy again
The first working week of March will bring little change to the overall pattern seen at the end of February. High pressure should limit the impact of Atlantic weather systems, so it looks drier and calmer than normal in most areas. Just the north of the UK, mainly Scotland but perhaps Northern Ireland, are likely to see rainfall near normal, perhaps a little above normal locally
As we move towards the middle of the month it looks as though high pressure will either decline southwards or start to drift eastwards. The upshot of this is that we would see rainfall nearer normal across the UK, although still with wettest areas of the country being in the north and west. A similar pattern is expected with winds - northern and west parts look most likely to see windy weather whilst the south and east remain relatively calm.
One thing that doesn't seem to change much in March is that it still looks warmer than normal. We do think there could be the occasional cooler spell but at the moment there are no indications of any prolonged cold weather before the end of winter.

How brief is briefly? I don't yet see a window for any drilling or fertiliser being done before April!
