Not just the worst, most repellently vile start ever to April but the worst start to any month 🤢
Unspeakably horrific for 20 months. Month after month of ridiculous abhorrent wet easterly crap resulting in the whole monthly average being reached during the first half. It was ludicrous a long time ago and still it keeps on getting worse and worse. Now after just three days the monthly average for April has almost been reached already 🤬
Not a glimpse of sun all rotten stinking month, constant rain for two days and horrific cold temperatures with putrid non existent diurnal ranges that would disgrace November. This follows on from last April having four consecutive sunless days to close so there has been no April sunshine since the 26th last year. It's just never ending. Even when the rain clears from the radar a soaking drizzle, that is too pitiful to show up, continues 🤮
April is turning into the worst month of the year and Spring the worst season. Not even the grotesque October to December period last year was this incessantly grim. The first week of April has been absolutely revolting almost every year since 2012. Cold, dull and increasingly wet. Almost every year since then has had worse weather for the Easter Holidays than the worst years I remember when I was at school. Back then the weather was changeable so even bad years were bearable. It is not remotely bearable or tolerable when this endless feed of stagnant wet, sunless wrist-slittinglt awful filth sets up repeatedly lasting for days at a time 🤮
I remember in April 1996 it was 18C and sunny one day then 6C with fog the next. Now we just have to endure the 6C easterly crud day after day. In fact it can't even get that warm. Just 5.4C today. Only three days in February were that cold - the brief cold snap from 7th to 9th. Absolutely pig sick of seeing it getting no warmer between February and April on an annual basis 🤮🤮🤮
Last year was the worst Spring in my memory but this year is absolutely smashing that horror into oblivion with it's relentless mind-numbing easterly poison. We endured eight consecutive sunless days at the start of March - the longest spell since December 2002. Then last week there was another four days of rain with only half an hour of sun. I was in London then but Tuesday afternoon and Thursday there were just as hideous as what we've had the past two days. Cold, wet and windy. There was barely a dry day the whole time I was there although it wasn't as bad as the forecast or as last year.
Probably the worst spell of April weather since the second week of April 1934 when there was considerable flooding in what turned out to be the wettest April on record. I'm amazed that there isn't any flooding been reported now given the incredulous ongoing wetness and horrifically saturated state of the ground.
Spring is the only season of the year that hasn't been at it's absolute worst during the 21st Century but the 2020s seem determined to rectify that. The 1920s/1930s have to have had the worst springs with 1932 and 1934 the two wettest Springs on record. 2024 seems determined to knock both off their perch. Utterly abysmal and beyond depressing with no redeeming qualities 🤢
