This April is turning out to be another drier than average and sunny
month, continuing a trend set last December.

April 2015 (1st - 18th)
Mean maximum = 5.2C
Mean maximum = 16.5C
Mean = 10.9C
Rain = 5.2 mm
Sunshine = 150 hours.

13 days so far this month have dawned sunny. 12 days have had a clear
sky at dusk with the sun setting as a red, fiery ball.

There have been no air frosts this month and my latest air frost I have
ever recorded has been the 21st April, so hopefully I now don't expect
any until the autumn.

2015 so far:
Rainfall = 171 mm
Sunshine = 520 hours

Only 3 out of the last 12 months have been wetter than normal.

Now what was that link that Philip Eden discovered between sunny, dry
Aprils and cool, wet summers.......
