Results of the AKM Video Meteor Network - March 2000
====================================================

March was record breaking - in the negative sense. The weather hadn't been
that poor for a very long time. After weeks of rainy weather the situation
improved briefly around March 21. However, even then the air was very humid
and the sky often foggy or garnished with cirrus clouds. The full moon did
the rest of the jobs, so that we recorded on average only two meteors per
hours in the absence of any major shower.
Let's hope for better weather in April.
