A warm one! (bit of wishful thinking perhaps!)

I'd go for 11.9c

Quite prepared to drop out of the competition if I'm too late to enter

Then, further out in time, we have the hints that maybe lagged effects of a dynamic final warming of the polar vortex, which took place mid-March, could facilitate a -NAO episode and a run of relatively low temperatures. However, products such as the extended ECMWF suggest blocking highs could be centred anywhere from western Greenland to Scandinavia and as we're seeing these next few days, the latter can support warm days if the high positions and shapes up in the right way.

With all that in mind, good luck everyone!

I'll go for 9.0C. I'm hoping this will be a nice month.   🙂🙂🙂

9.6 to the 1st

Here's the table for April - it looks like everyone has gone above the long term average. Apologies to the 2 members whose usernames i haven't included - they weren't on your email and I couldn't work out who you were! I've emailed you both to find out.

I nearly forgot to include mine!!

🤪

11.1 to the 4th

3.2c above the 61 to 90 average

2.8c above the 91 to 20 average

10.9 to the 5th

3.0c above the 61 to 90 average

2.7c above the 91 to 20 average

Plenty of cold nights.

2020 copycat so far.

Remarkable spell of weather 

10.6 to the 6th

2.8c above the 61 to 90 average

2.3c above the 91 to 20 average

Hasn't felt as warm up here as it did in April 20, with maxes generally 15-18c. There were a number of days in April 20 that topped 20c.

(well, that's according to my declining memory!)

We're also very likely heading for a dip in 850's at least, and more unsettled.

10.3 to the 7th

2.4c above the 61 to 90 average

2.1c above the 91 to 20 average
