According to the mid-month stats released by the Met Office, the UK as a whole is sitting at just 26% of the normal April rainfall.

Dry yes but what will keep this likely out of the top 3-5 spot is the near average rain up in Northwest Scotland and the rain in the forecast but the outlook remains drier than normal.
This follows the driest October-March period since 1995-96.
Given the forecast through the remainder of April with little appreciable rain, this April could be a top 10 driest.

The driest was 1938 in which an average of just 14mm fell across the UK.
If May follows in March and April’s dry trend, then this could well be a strong hint of a warm front end to summer… Hope to have my May outlook released tomorrow. Stay tuned.
