"While it has felt chilly, the statistics for the first half of April actually show that it has been warmer than average."

That's what I said 😆
So apparently it is the night-time temps that have been excessively warm, but it hasn't felt that way here at least. although frost hasn't been a feature with just 1 or 2 sub zero nights.

Perhaps a little uptick to 9.6c/9.7c over the last couple of days. I just hope there's no upwards adjustment, as I really to need a month that's not too damaging in the comp, after a nightmare start.

so well done to col who was nearest with 9.52C

---

Well done Col!  👏

Mid month you thought you’d blown it!  Just goes to show, with our weather, you should never give up!  

---

Congrats Col.

It would take a pretty potent cold spell later in the month to drive the figure down to my prediction of 9.52C and nobody surely would want that. After coming within a whisker of winning in January my predictions have gone down the pan and this month looks to be no exception.

Col, here’s what you posted on 7th April.  😊

Col, here’s what you posted on 7th April.  😊

Yes, I do seem to recall writing it off after about a week. Although it wasn't really 'potent' just a lot of below average temps that mounted up.
A most unlikely victory certainly!

Well played Col

---

Yes congratulations Col - always a brave call to go cold for a month now.

Congratulations Col, very well deserved 👏

---

Col, here’s what you posted on 7th April.  😊

Well done Col, your win my demise 😉

Indeed. And the halves are reversed from their usual April order. Still early days but I'm expecting the 2nd half of April to end up being some 3C cooler than the 1st half!

Just confirming that rough CET splits are:

1st half: 11.2C
2nd half: 8.0C

Must be unusual to have such a drop in the 2nd half of April
