First 20c ! where and when

[IanR]

Its usualy that time of year for guessing   Is it too soon with another cold blast due ?  , and possibly another in mid April ? 

Could it be as late as May this year or even June 

hopefully April  , although I think it will be in the last week of the month, somewhere in the home counties

Moved to Spring and General weather discussion

[Chris.R]

Hawarden, Rhyl, valley or Crosby at 1500 18/04.  

[Gray-Wolf]

I'm hoping before April is out !!!

If we are to see further HP blocking we might see cold air masses but the sun gaining in strength and day length increasing it can still feel nice in shelter?

So I'm hoping for a crisp clear day and some shelter so temps can hover around 20c by 2pm!

[Sunny76]

My prediction is, the first warm spell where a 20c is achieved, will occur before April 20th. Maybe lasting for 3 or 4 days, before another cool and rainy spell to see out the month. 

May will provide us with the first warm to hot spell of the year, lasting for two weeks, giving a dry heat and the air feeling fresh with northerly or easterly breezes.

As May wears on, it will start to turn increasingly humid and the nights will start to feel warm. The first of the summer storms will arrive by the last week of May. 

Just a prediction mind!

[LetItSnow!]

My completely random guess, somewhere around Hampshire on the 3rd of May.

[Wildswimmer Pete]

Often March saw the first 20C but obviously not this year.  Together with others I'm hoping for it in late April especially as we are looking at yet another cold shot in mid-April.  Wish this *+%"@* winter would crawl into its grave and die.

I'll go for the 16th. The influence of the SSW should wane on the AO as the month progresses.

19th April and in the obvious....Greater London

[lassie23]

hopefully sunday because i'm having a bbq

[weatherguru14]

You will need to remove the snow of the BBQ!  frozen sausage for  dinner.

[Nick L]

If tonight's output is to believed, next weekend all being well!

[Summer Sun]

Next Saturday or Sunday if ECM and GFS and going in the right direction

[B87]

I think it'll be extremely late this year, I'll go for 6th May, London.

[Fourty Point Three Degrees]

I'm going for the first 20c actually being a 30c in June.  I have a feeling that the recent SSW isn't too keen on letting go of this dire below average temperature pattern until at least early Summer.

Sounds like May 2012 and we all know what came next!

[Weather26]

Friday May 4th Sheffield (right before a Bank Holiday Weekend!)

[Weather26]

Gravesend has apparently got to 19.4c today so we were very nearly there!

[TJM14]

Only 16c here today, but I'd guess the first 20 C temperatures to be between the 18th and 26th of April

 I’m not going to be far wrong! Pretty good for a month out i’d say. 

[Weather26]

We have a winner! Dorset with 20.7C

 

[Summer Sun]

2019 has smashed all records

20.3c in Trawsgoed makes it the earliest 20c day on record beating the previous earliest day of March 2nd 1977

[frosty ground]

Madness and next week is going to be a shock to the system

[Weather26]

And we hadn't had anytime to start this year's guesses!

That new record may only last 24 hours?!
