Default Record early 25°C at De Bilt - Netherlands

Good evening, all.

After today's scorcher, De Bilt set a new April record today: with +28.9C,
this is the warmest April day in De Bilt since the begin of records. Quoting
knmi.nl, it was +29.7C in Westdorp, in Zeeland (!). On 21/4/1968,
temperatures in Venlo and Gemert reached +32.2C, which still is the April
record for the country and the earliest tropical day.

Yannis, De Bilt
still a hot 27.4C!

De Bilt in the Netherlands recorded 27.6°C today. This is the
earliest date in the year that 25°C has been reached there and only
0.2 deg C below the highest April temperature on record of 27.8°C on
21st April 1968.

Previous earliest 25°C was on 15th April 1904 when the maximum was
26.4°C.

Records at De Bilt go back to 1901.
