13 air frosts here this month including 11 in succession which was the longest since December 2010.
Previous highest number of frosts I recorded in April was 9 in 2013. Highest total at nearby Craibstone in the past 70 years was 11 in both 1966 and 1968.
Since my records began in May 2005 these are the only month to record as many as 13 air frosts:
December 2010 - 19
December 2009 - 17
March 2013 - 16
January 2009 - 14
January 2021 - 14
February 2010 - 13
February 2016 - 13
Just shows how utterly pathetic winter has become when so many months cannot even muster half the frosts an April can. Winter 2016/17 only had 12 air frosts in total so this April has recorded more than that entire supposed winter season
Air frost duration has been 74.5 hours which is nearly double my previous record of 38.9 hours in 2013. It's more than the last two dire Decembers could manage combined and in fact more than every single December has managed since 2013 except for 2017. Ludicrous.
Todays minimum of 3.9C was the warmest of the month so far but only just above the long term average min for April. Contrast this with last December, one of the worst ever, which saw 12 consecutive nights fail to even drop below 4C
