Default April Showers

There were some around earlier but i seem to have missed most of showery
activity that was around in NW England earlier this morning.

But why do we have the term 'April showers' anyway? Convective shower
activity is surely prevalent in all months of the year, is there any
evidence that in April it makes up a larger proportion of total
rainfall, compared to frontal rain?
