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.
