Another summer has come and gone, and according to the Bureau of Meteorology, it’s been a dry start to the year.

Official data from Barwon Heads Golf Club, revealed there was 57.2 millimetre of rain in January, which was above average, but February was very dry.

Only 1.6mm of rain fell, all of it on February 4.

Three weeks of no rainfall was broken on March 2 with 3.4mm and and a welcome 18mm on March 5 and 1.6mm the following day.

With the Labor Day long weekend this weekend and Easter around the corner, there still should be plenty of warm days to come before winter sets in.

On Monday, Canadian visitor Jason Klassen, sons Ryder and Jed and father-in-law, local Mick Drew, visited Ocean Grove main beach on a coolish day.
