Indian summer ends

Mark Pritchard reports...
Our year to date total is 255mm, only the second time in 10 years we have been above the average for the first quarter...I think summer has now passed. 
We only had 1 day greater than 30*C this month, on the 1 April when it was 31.3. For the whole of last summer we only had 24 days with a max over 30*C and NONE over 40. Over the last 3 years we have averaged 38 days over 30*C, and last year we had 5 days over 40. Our hottest day was 3 January at 38.9.  
Now we have to wait & see when the coldest day will be!
