A dry and blocked month on the whole but the high may be west enough to produce inversions in the first half before it drifts south east in the second.

7.1C for me at this point, 0.5C above the 1981-2010 average.

After so many months near to or just below average, I'm hoping for something a bit more extreme. And since we're used to such warm spring months, a chilly one wouldn't go amiss. 4.4c?
