Its felt very warm out in the countryside this week with a blazing sun, loads of insects around, it just hasnt felt cool at all apart from very early in the morning and only one morning, yesterday was truly cold for mid April, i think too many people get hung up on charts and ignore the reality what the actual conditions at the ground will be in April, you need rain, overcast conditions, cold breeze for cold feeling weather in April, tell anybody out and about it was going to be a cool week and they would of laughed at you in a t shirt.

Very dubious of any daytime cold now until November onwards when the sun is much weaker and days are much shorter.
