Thanks Martin. I clearly miscalculated 2020 - and I must admit I only looked at the years when I knew there was a good finishing CET. Not the best approach clearly and one would have thought I could remember last year! Still, happy it's likely to be a good one still to hopefully contribute to a memorable spring.

Yes Bert what we remember are the warm sunny days but what caused this April's somewhat lower mean were the relatively cool nights. If you base it in the CET Max instead of the Mean then only 2020 beats it. this year had an average cetmax of 16.8C for the 1st 12 days and 2020 was 17.2C. If you take the sun hours and rain days into account as well (as in Kevin's Summer Index) then I am pretty sure 2024 would  be the winner. I for one cannot recall such a long run of completely cloudless days

With the current forecast, high 10s (10.7 maybe?) shouldn't be too difficult, even with only 5 days left.
