Storms and Convective discussion - April 2024
Weather-history replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Pretty active this morning with hail showers -
Some surprising stats for our region as regards to exceptionally wet Aprils. The wettest April on record is 1970, which is not a year I suspect many would choose if they had to guess. There have been only 6 years where at least 100mm was recorded and neither April 2000 nor 2012 reached that mark. For England and Wales as a whole, they are the two wettest Aprils on record. Two that did get to the 100mm mark were surprisingly April 1947 and 1949. Another surprise is that April 2005 was almost as wet as April 2012. Got to say I don't recall much about April 2005 apart from that very short wintry interlude at the end of the first week.

Observations Of Nature Through The Seasons.

The two thing that stood out for me from that summer of 2009 were the amazing noctilucent cloud displays and the volcanic sunsets. Both visually beautiful. Funny old summer, it wasn't brilliant but IMO, better overall than its two predecessors.
