Apologies data being a little late, and thank you for the kind messages, I've been having crippling migraines, and I need to undergo some tests; it just got out of hand last week, and Doctors told me to go to A&E as this would, in theory, be the fastest way? there Friday, and then after three hours, a declared medical emergency was announced due to an incident at Lewes Prison. It was suggested that pretty much everyone waiting, to go home, or accept 10-12 further wait! and then there again yesterday for 7 hours and now I have to wait for a biopsy and scans next week. 

As we head towards April after yet another very mild month, what will April bring? Will we see an early burst of summer weather, or can't we really say a return to cold, as we have hardly had any but some cold weather? the current model output suggests the continuation of the same warm and wet 😫

My estimate for April is 10.49, another mild and probably wet month I really hope I'm wrong about the wet month though

---

Nice one Justin, sounds like an ordeal. Try and take it easy for awhile if you can. 

April looks like starting mild. Will we get a cooler spell at some point?

---

Quick post Just to keep on page 1

---

 Justin your inbox is full.

I'm going for 10.75c

---

Still full so I'll post it here. 

10.4c for me please 

---

Think I'll go for 9.9.

I think April will be more of the same - the CET suggesting quite a mild and pleasant month, but in reality continuing the wet and unsettled theme that feels like it's gone on for eternity now.

---

Your inbox is full but I’ll go for 10.8c please.  

So sorry to hear you’re not well. Hope you soon feel better and your tests go well. Best wishes
. 
PS Don’t worry about this competition, we’ll survive. Just concentrate on getting better

---

Can't PM as inbox is fill. I'll go for 9.17c.

---

I just tried too. Do I need to resend when it is cleared or does my message sit in some overflow mailbox that gets picked up once the Inbox has enough room?

Anyway, I'll post here. 10.3C for me please 🙂

---

Still full box.

11.75c for me.

---

10.25C for me please.

I've been abysmal so far this year, going colder than average each month - because that's what my head was telling me.

Not this month... and even if it were, I'd ignore it and go milder 😉

Nothing too extraordinary, but 9.3c
​​​​​​

---

10.35c for me please Justin. 

---

I keep going too high and am once again dragging my heels near the back of the pack.
Only hope is a s*** or bust high guess. No doubt we'll get a 1986 as a result.

---

Full inbox J when I posted my prediction so so as to not incur a penalty will you please accept my public pred?
Not a record breaker but hoping for mild nights with this endless train of LPs.
So- 10.44°C for me please.

---

Just stickied it for you Justin.   🙂 

---

Hi Justin.  Hi - I'll go for 9.0C.

---

Hi Justin, Thanks for all your efforts, especially given the difficulties (hope all is well) - mine will be 10.11 for April - just over average, but nothing remarkable. - Thanks.

---

I will go for 9.8C please 

10.1c please

Sorry about the PM box being full. I have kept trying to delete the older messages each month, but they never seem to. It would not let me. It just kept saying confirm delete, then the box on top of the screen would appear and say 0 messages deleted. So I tried to delete all, and oh that worked, so every message ever is gone. Argh.

I'm only missing a couple, so thank you all for posting on the topic thread. I will PM the missing couple, as they may have tried or thought it had gone through. 

Thanks all. 

---

I found it did delete the messages if you selected a few at a time but the confirmation screen did not always show the correct number.
For example if you selected 2 to delete, it would delete them both but then confirm it had deleted only 1 message.

Hope you are feeling better 

---

I wonder if it's possible for Brian to increase the capacity in your PM library. Other messageboard software does allow this.

---

I've resent my prediction. At least I hope it's the same one as I sent yesterday. Deleting the message also seems to delete it from my sent mail.
