Yet another chilly night ahead following a cool April day over the Southeast.with a moderate north east wind.

The temperature will reach a cool 10C or 11C but there will be sunny spells so out of the breeze and in the sun it may feel not too unpleasant. Tonight some clear spells and light winds will drop the temperature again to near or below freezing and lead to a sixth consecutive air frost and the 11th consecutive grass frost at the Frosted Earth Weather station and many other places too in our region. Today will continue dry and Saturday will be a little milder at 12C and stay dry also with sunny spells.

Weather Saying for April

''The uncertain glory of an April day'. Shakespeare

With sea temperatures still low around the British Isles and much arctic ice during April winds from the north can be very chilly. On the other hand the Continent is warming up and southerly winds can bring real warmth. So April has seen many snowstorms such as in 1981 and more recently heavy snow fell on the 6th in 2008. However real heat waves have occurred such as in 2011 with values above 27C. Convective showers are likely na ny unstable air due to the warming sun and its high altitude but the atmosphere is still chilly hence often steep lapse rates leading to convective showers and quick fire changes.
