BBC - April 2011 Warmest In UK For More Than 100 Years - Breaks 2007's Old Record

The records, which go back more than 100 years, show much of the UK experienced temperatures 3 to 5C warmer than is normal for April. It was also the 11th driest month, with on average half the usual rainfall.

But there was also great variation in the amount of rain. Parts of north-west Scotland saw about 110% of normal April rainfall, while parts of south-east England saw less than 10% of normal.

The UK average temperature was 10.7C, exceeding the previous warmest April on record of 10.2C in 2007.

Following a drier-than-average winter, the dry April followed a dry March which saw less than half of the normal rainfall falling across the UK.
