From "The English Climate" by C E P Brookes (pub 1954):

"The third week of April is often bright and sunny, but also showery, and
this week may be said to mark the opening of the thunderstorm season in
Britain."

When I read first this book in 1964 (though probably not the same edition) I
thought it said that April was the first month when the UK could expect to
be affected by storms moving north from France.


I came to a similar conclusion based on observation, but I had it placed as
first week of May.
