Looking at some of the runs lately it appears that April will now be
dominated with high pressure, giving dry and bright weather, albeit with
an easterly in the South. I was hoping for a more unsettled April as
dry/sunny Aprils do not bode well for a good summer I thinks :-(

Yep, Philip Eden describes the correlation between dry & sunny Aprils and
wet summers, and vice versa.

All last 3 Aprils have generally been dry and sunny, and look how the
summers have turned out. Surely we can't get a 4th miserable summer on the
trot!!

Then again, April 2006 wasn't at all bad and looked how that summer turned
out. There's always hope suppose.
