Only last year April gave so many people a sence of a long hot summer
and then it all went terribly wrong. Looking at the trends in the
models April looks like being plagued with easterlies with most of
the rain in the south. A long way to go yet, but anyone wanting some
real summery weather will have to wait till May.

Just my personal thoughts.

Of course, it all depends on how you define "summery" :-)

Anyone else define summer as a prison sentence, with parole usually
coming some time in early September?
