Last April was a weird one. It's not often you get a notably cool, but also a notably dry and sunny month in the warmer half of the year. It's on a par with mild, dry and sunny winter months. 17 air frosts where I used to live was pretty extraordinary and that would be decent enough for one of the winter months to do that, never mind April.
The sunshine and the dryness actually meant I didn't mind last April though. After the frost had cleared, it felt decent enough in sunshine and light winds. The worst kind of month would be something like April 2012: cold, wet, sleety and unsettled for the entire month.
