March 2019 proved to be milder than average, although only the mildest March since 2017, with a mean maximum temperature of 12.9C, 2.0C above the long term (1981-2010) average. The mean minimum temperature was 6.6C, 1.7C above the long term average. The highest air temperature measured during the month was 14.9C on the 30th. The lowest minimum air temperature was 2.1C on the 26th, and grass minimum was -1.7C on the 5th & 8th. Seven ground frosts and 0 air frosts were recorded. So far this winter season (Oct - Mar) there have been 3 air frosts and 48 ground frosts.
March was wetter than average with 78.8mm of rain recorded in my accurate 5 inch copper rain gauge, 114% of the average. My less accurate automatic Davis gauge recorded 86.6mm. The wettest day was the 5th with 27.5mm collected in my copper gauge. Rain or heavy dew amounting to 0.2mm or greater occurred on 17 days with 10mm or more on 1.
Just taking a look back at 2018, the mean daily maximum temperature was 15.5C, 1.0C above the long term average, and mean daily minimum 8.9C, 0.7C above the average. Ten air frosts were recorded (1 in Jan, 4 in Feb and 5 in Mar), well below the average of 14.4. There were 51 ground frosts (11 in Jan, 19 in Feb, 12 in Mar, 3 in Oct, 3 in Nov and 3 in Dec). Rainfall from my manual gauge was 1015.4mm, 120% of the average and wettest since 2014.

The tables above show weather conditions recorded by a Davis Vantage Pro 2 automatic weather station sited in Teignmouth, South Devon. They are usually updated every 10 minutes. All times are Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), so add one hour for British Summer Time (BST).
* Air temperature is measured 1.9m above ground level and the anemometer is just 2.2m above ground level in a NNW/SSE oriented valley. The wind direction is therefore heavily biased towards either the up or down valley direction and the anemometer is very sheltered from the prevailing westerly flow by higher ground directly upstream. The thermistor that measures grass tip temperature only has a resolution of 1 degree Fahrenheit and this has been automatically converted into Celcius to the nearest 0.1 degrees. A grass temperature of < 0°C indicates the occurrence of a ground frost (air temperature < 0°C indicates an air frost). The leaf wetness sensor monitors the level of surface moisture on foliage and hence the occurrence of dew, fog, drizzle, rain etc. Soil moisture is measured in centibars (cb) [0-10cb = saturated soil, 10-30cb = ground adequately wet, 30-100cb = ground needs irrigating to maintain maximum production, 100-200 cb = ground dry. ]. The strength of the sun's ultraviolet radiation is expressed as a UV index and was developed by the World Health Organization. As a guide 0-2 = low, 3-5 = medium, 6-7 = high, 8-10 = very high, 11+ = extreme. You can safely stay outside if UV is low, and it is recommended that you wear sunscreen if levels are moderate or higher, and seek shade if levels are high or above. In Teignmouth UV levels reach 7 in mid-summer and may reach 8 on exceptional days.
