They may have very well surpassed the official Values by a bit.
The Highest ever official April Temperature in Munich City was 32.2°C/90°F.
April 2012
It stands alone.
The Munich City weather station exists since 1954.
The old Record from a different weather station was 28,7°C in April 1934.
That day (28th April) Munich was the warmest City of Europe tied with Ajaccio
Despite this day, April 2012 overall wasn't anything special, just a little bit warmer than Average.
What are the record highs for Bratislava, Vienna, and Freiburg for April?
I'm just wondering if that record high in Munich is related to a foehn wind coming from the south over the Alps? Isn't Munich just north of the Alps?
Look at the definition of foehn lol: a hot southerly wind on the northern slopes of the Alps.
Kamloops, BC has reached 91.4F in the month of April and that is at almost 51N. South wind coming over the Cascade mountains is most likely the reason.
I'm at latitude 40N and our max high in April is not much higher at 95F. But we have gone over 90F in 16 different years in April since 1888. We are at sea level and probably too close to the ocean to go much higher in April than the mid 90'sF.
It's quite variable. West coast Med climates generally have lower humidity, from lower SSTs, while the Mediterranean basin has higher humidity, from warmer SSTs.
The Med is an enclosed sea so I imagine the warm SST are purely from sun in summer and solar heating. There are really no large ocean currents in the Med bringing warm water from the tropics or cold from the Arctic. Look at the Gulf of CA (Sea of Cortez). It heats up incredibly in summer for the same reason.
The West Coast of Portugal has quite cold SST's for my liking compared to the Med coast of Spain. Similar to CA in the same way.

That's true. Seattle also exhibits the same west coast Mediterranean tendency for warmer air temperatures, than sea temperatures.
Cfb climates on the other hand, have summer air and sea temperatures very close, or even with a warmer sea temperature than air temperature, like my climate, or the UK.

Only in the winter though right? The UK air temps are warmer than their SST in summer I'm sure.

Record April High Temperature in Freiburg was 29,4C or 29,8°C (Two different weather stations)
I don't know the Values for Vienna and Bratislava.
I'm not sure how important the foehn wind was that day.
As you can see the heat was reaching all the way up to Berlin on that day.(No mountains there)
The West Coast of Portugal has relatively cold SSTs compared to the Mediterranean.
But it's quite a bit warmer on average than comparable places like the West coast of California and Chile at the same latitude.
So probably the Gulf Stream has a small warming effect there.

That only extends to Portugal then cause North Africa SST's are not as warm as Baja CA.
The sea temperatures are quite a bit warmer in Baja CA sur along the Pacific coast than they are along the coast of North Africa at the same latitude. Mid 70'sF and warmer at a place like La Bocana vs 70F along the coast of Western Sahara.
