Bob Prichards records I have show 2.8°C on the 3rd April 1964, 3.3°C 14th April 1966, 4.4°C 1970.

How we forget it's nothing new.

09-09 maximum of 2.9 here (daytime max 2.1 yesterday) so the coldest
April 09-09 day in my record but only by a squeak. Light snow showers
earlier gave way to brighter conditions and there's a lot of daylight
now before 0900 GMT and the temperature crept up.
Early days I know but the monthly anomaly is running at -7.1 deg of the
1981-2010 mean. The landscape has a barren look.
