I remember 1975 and my Mum complaining that she'd got snow on her birthday - 28th Good Friday. We kids thought it was great, came down thick and fast, we must have had a good 6 inches or so :lol:

[damianslaw]

Last easter really does stand out when looking at that list, even so it was very early, there had not been an easter nearly as cold for 10 years i.e. 1998, and was the coldest since 1975

Also notable the run of fairly warm easters this century excepting 2001 and to a much lesser degree 2004, guess we have been spoiled in recent years, this easter will probably come in as very average I expect.

[Terminal Moraine]

A very interesting list, Mr D, and one I've not seen before. 1949 really does stand head and shoulders above the rest but then again it was a late Easter, 1926 was very warm for a relatively early one.

[cheeky_monkey]

funny i remember 1975 & 1998 being cold and wintry..but i cant even remember last easter..let alone it being so cold...very strange.

[Weather-history]

, 1926 was very warm for a relatively early one.

Easter 1926 was one of the best of the last 100 years.

22.2C at Kew on Good Friday and 24.4C at Geldeston on Easter Sunday

Easter 1979 was another good Easter and was much welcomed after the harsh winter. 23C was recorded in a couple of places on the Easter Saturday and Sunday.

[johnholmes]

we used to have a list of PH's at Manchester WC for comparison, which was expecially interesting when comparing 'movable' PH's like Easter.

tks for this list Mr D

[Nick H]

Easter Saturday 1984 was very warm and sunny. Hyde Park was as beautiful and as busy in the spring warmth as I've ever seen it (apart from at the dodgy protests/concerts).

Edited April 9, 2009 by Nick H

[Summer of 95]

I'm surprised how low the figure for 2007 is. The Sunday was certainly glorious with temps in the high teens, Monday was a bit cloudier but not much cooler while Friday and Saturday were mostly sunny and quite warm. Must have been the night temps that pulled that one down. To see it cooler than 2006 was surprising; to see it a full 2C cooler than 1992 (which I remember as a wet, dull April with no warm days) is scarcely believable to be honest.

[johnholmes]

just goes to show how are memories can play tricks on us-of course it may have been different in your particular area

Yes, occurring in an otherwise very delayed, cold and wet Spring on the back of a severe Winter. There was a mini heatwave that occurred exactly a month later also.
