Derecho mid to upper 9's the likely landing point now, with the final days of the month milder?

According to world climate service it'll be a while before we get a positive AO/NAO combination.
No doubt in time for bloody winter!

Very nice sunny day today. A cold one this evening though!

We are looking at 9.4C to finish the month
Excellent as that would mean I will only be 0.1C out with my guess. Earlier in the month, it was looking like I could be amiss by as much as 2C!

Mid 9's the likely final CET for the month?

Wasn't it originally going to turn drier and sunnier from mid-March? Then late March, and so on. Now it looks like we be well into May with no dry and sunny spells.
It's getting like it is in winter for snow seekers, with the season just gone a perfect example. It was supposed to turn colder late December, then it was early January, mid January, late January, early February, mid February, late February and before we knew it, it was March! However, at least it's only April with peak summer a good few months away.
I'm sure we will have some hot weather next season, but will it be of the heat spike variety among cooler/unsettled spells or will we get more prolonged pleasant weather without getting ridiculously hot and humid?! 2018 was great in that it was consistently warm/hot with only modest levels of humidity until late July.

I would say that August 2008, 2010 and 2021 were worse than any other Augusts since 1986.
August 2008 was the worst I can remember and was particularly bad in the west country. Had a two week holiday in Cornwall and it was a complete washout with only one genuine decent day!

with the way some wx accounts are talking about it on Twitter you'd think an ice age was on the way.
Or an ice age has already arrived?!

B87 I'm dreading a two week period without any rain as we will have to start thinking about a drought situation with potential hose pipe bands and stand pipes etc!
Meanwhile, a very misty and murky evening here. Beware of the bogey man everyone!

Im genuinely worried this new awfulness has stuck and will be our default moving forwards (with the odd small window of respite like June 23 and the week in September)
This will not be our default pattern moving forward. We will have a dry period again with droughts!

April 2008 for instance had a good four inches of snow here ,that was about early mid April time , came overnight and was all gone by mid afternoon!
Early April 6th 2008 saw a few inches of snow in the south and although it had almost all gone by mid afternoon, temperatures didn't exceed 2C in places. Now, that is exceptional!

Just has well it didn't cool down that much in autumn and winter then!
After a slightly wet start today, has been largely dry but rather overcast.

*Stormforce~beka* blimey, I would have sweated buckets if I had gone out in a winter coat and scarf today! In fact, I would have probably fainted!

I should think so!

Just goes to show - even with a whole week of winds blowing mostly from between NW and NE it has been difficult to get anything substantially below average. Which is of course why it's also so difficult to get a whole month below 1961-1990 at the moment.
Yes and what is concerning is that we had an April only 3 years ago that was almost 1.5C below the 1961-90 average! Has the climate changed that much in such a short space of time?!

The world will warm up more, very certain of that but the strength of the sun itself, well that cannot be changed by us
Thank God!

danm A bit of a contrast to a week or so ago!

B87 If it is, it will be warm rain!

raz.org.rain had all upstairs windows open for a while this afternoon.

Weather Enthusiast91 I think there's a fair chance I may see a 20C Christmas day in my lifetime, although I hope not! I think the way things are currently though, you will be pretty close to the mark for 2114!

The way we're going it may be a safe bet to assume April 2114 will be too!
Taking into account advancing climate change, April 2114 will probably be hot!

Despite the much cooler/colder 2nd half of the month, it's not been enough to offset the warm 1st half and will still exceed all recent averages, significantly so the 61-90.
