Something I mentioned to my Wife who was getting fed up with the cool
and wet weather of this spring was that it's a good sign for a better
summer. I then just stumbled across this from Philip Eden quoting
similar years which include 1975, 1976 and 1987 which I think were
probably some of the warmest summer months this century in the UK

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" :-)


19C and 60% RH is "summery" for Haytor.
