pointless spell of weather IMO. Sunshine and warmth is all I want from here on in....
Not pointless at all IMO, but I love cold weather any time of year. As a bonus, it'll keep the North Sea that little bit cooler too, which will have a knock-on effect later in the year (those sea breezes in summer, for example). Win-win for me!
I'm not expecting snow here (it's exceptionally rare in April), but the low dewpoints with a gusty wind will be worth experiencing... even the usually conservative Met Office automated goes for -8C dewpoints, which is very rare here.
There should be some fantastic convection and some lucky areas will experience the very best April has to offer, namely warm sunshine and blue skies switching to snow and near-freezing temperatures, swifly followed by more warm sunshine.
