It would take a pretty potent cold spell later in the month to drive the figure down to my prediction of 9.52C and nobody surely would want that. After coming within a whisker of winning in January my predictions have gone down the pan and this month looks to be no exception.

Indeed. And the halves are reversed from their usual April order. Still early days but I'm expecting the 2nd half of April to end up being some 3C cooler than the 1st half!

Must be unusual to have such a drop in the 2nd half of April
