Still waiting for 20C here in Reading - looks like a chance of getting there this weekend at last (had a near miss last Sunday).

I can't help wondering, as we sit here in a month that reminds me of May 2021 (albeit less cold), whether that cut-off low over Iberia could tend to drift northwards with slightly reduced pressure to the north of us and hang around Biscay and the near continent. This would give us a scenario like that of early summer 2021 where we had a reverse NW/SE split with a pretty miserable spell here in the south while the north basked in sunshine.

Not that much better our side of London - a few brief sunny intervals after 3.00 but the temperature hasn't even reached 15 yet.
We've had a pretty dull year so far, with January just about average then a protracted dull spell since. These stats from Reading University show this, along with the very wet March and early May...
That's two more than we've had in Reading.
