April 2015 underrated month ?

[Harry233]

One month that I have a lot of good memories from that doesn’t get a lot of mention is April 2015. For me it was the sunniest April on record until 2021, it had a maximum above average but also had a lot of cool nights with minima below average (my favourite combination in spring) and a lot of good spring weather. I remember Easter weekend being very pleasant that year with a high of 19.3.C on Easter Sunday (5th) then a high of 18.9.C on Easter Monday. The good weather lasted the rest of that week before shifting to something a bit more unsettled with some notable hail on the 11th but it still remained rather sunny. There was then another pretty warm spell from the 19th-24th reaching a high of 21.1.C on the 22nd. The last week turned rather unsettled and quite wet and that was the pattern that may 2015 followed. A month with not the warmth of 2007 and 2011 but for many places had higher sunshine totals. As my stats it certainly didn’t have a mean temperature of anything spectacular but had significantly warmer maximums
