April 2011 for me was the best spring month, in my experience. It is currently the warmest April on record with a CET of 11.8°C. It came four years after April 2007, which was also a very warm month with a CET of 11.2°C and I still think it's unbelieveable that that month was bettered, especially in such a short space of time! April 2011 was also the sunniest April on record, only recently beaten by April 2015, and the driest April on record too. It was a month that wouldn't look out of place in July.

April 2011 was ceratinly the best month for sun and lack of rain for as long as I can remember.

 

Ther was an average temperature of 19.2C, which is 6 degrees up on the 30 year average, and less than 1mm of rain in the whole month.

 

I wonder if we will ever have another month like Aprill of 2011.

Not as good as 2007 here. Too many cloudy or partly cloudy days when other places had sunshine, it only ended up warmer because of night time temperatures. Only a couple of days were cloudless and warm 2007-style. 2015 was a lot sunnier too.

I tend to view 2007 as the superior month however it was pretty good.

I actually forgot about this thread. I made one of my historic videos a few weeks ago (similar to Gavin Partridge's) on the Aprils of 2007 and 2011:

The latest CET update I just notice has given April 2011 a C.E.T. of 12.0! Meaning this April is now the sole 12C April on record.

A very good April, excellent for warmth but recently it’s been overtaken for sunshine and dryness. The Aprils of 2007, 2015, 2020 and 2021 have all been sunnier and 2007, 2017, 2020 and 2021 have been drier. The mean maxima here during April 2011 was 16.6.C which is nearly 4.C above average. April 2007 came close with 16.1.C but no April has came close to reaching close to them two since. I can remember a lot of very good weather during April 2011 especially during  the second and third weeks but the first and last weeks I do remember it being quite cool and dull but often dry. At the time it certainly was amazing however I feel especially here 2007, 2015, 2020 and 2021 were better. 2015 wasn’t as settled and 2021 was cold but they were almost always sunny

April 2007 and 2011 were the summers of those years!
