It's surprising how similar the two Spring average temperatures are, given the weather was so different.
Warmest spring on r ecord, 10.68, just beating last year.

Congratulations to Ally Pally Snowman - a spot on prediction for May. There's a virtual bottle of bubbly on the way to you! I'll post the table up tomorrow but there's definitely some movement this month!

It wasn't even that warm up here (I bet there was a unusually large differential between Stoneyhurst and Rothamsted for these 5 days)

Still, who can argue with a nice thick filling 😄
According to my own tracking which is hopefully in the right ballpark, Lanky retains the top spot comfortably, by a margin of over 0.5°C, with the host scillydave in 2nd. It was a good decision to post those estimates publicly eh? 😜
Frank H and Dingle Rob appear to be in a close battle for 3rd and 4th place. A long way to go yet though.
I wish it was easier to post images on this forum, I could show a nice graph of the standings.
