April 2015 Hydrological Summary Published

May 19, 2015

April was dominated by anticyclonic conditions and was, for most of the UK, largely dry, warm and sunny; the sunniest April on record (from 1929) for the UK. The fine spring weather was bookended by cool and unsettled spells in the first and final weeks, and north-western areas experienced a stormy interlude mid-month. Overall however, April was warmer than average and saw some very warm spells. With climbing evapotranspiration rates, and much of southern Britain receiving little appreciable rainfall, soil moisture deficits (SMDs) increased markedly above the late April average.
