  A yo-yo type of month with several quite cold incursions and wet snow falling even at low levels and quite far south, however very mild to warm at other times. Predominantly on the dry side except for an unseasonable lingering Low near the end of the month throwing fronts and rain off the North Sea. Cooler than average at 8.0.C and a dry 22mm

Gonna go for 8.7*C and 60mm of precipitation please.

A chilly start looking likely, perhaps with some sleet or snow. But then probably getting warm to very warm as we progress further into the month. Somewhat less settled than March I reckon, but still staying fairly dry overall.

Will go for 7.5 and 130. Not good (comparable with 1998, 2000 and 2012) but basing it on current model runs. Colder than March, but little or no snow in the south.
