The first statement in that line suggests bad weather, though the
second and third suggest average conditions. Unless April habitually
produces bad weather (and generally, it produces good weather as often
as it does bad) that would suggest a contradiction.

I don't see the contradiction, Nick. Unsettled with near average temperature
and rainfall is a very common British Isles situation. It's probably quite a
good description of a typical British summer.

To me I've always taken "unsettled" to mean significantly above-
average rainfall, and significantly below-average pressure, i.e. a
series of deep lows with very active fronts and virtually no dry days,
such as last November.
