National Tool Hire March Review

31 Mar 2023

In contrast to a dry February, March 2023 was the wettest march for 40 years (since 1981) in England and Wales, while Northern Ireand also had one of its wettest Marches on record! It was a rain soaked month. England saw 104% more rainfall than average at 119.2mm. Wales also saw more than double its long-term average, with 206.5mm of rainfall, while Northern Ireand saw 74% more rain than average with 151.2mm of fall. What a splash!

While on the subject of our neighbours, we’re glad to announce we have now crossed the Irish Sea and we are providing our services across Northern Ireland! We have depots in Armagh, Belfast, Derry, Lisburn, Newry and everywhere in between. This is a really exciting move.
