[ColdCanadian]

What I do know about our April:

One of our warmest on record
-monthly mean was 11 C/52 F, avg monthly mean is 7 C/45 F

Our second driest April on record
-29 mm (1.2 inches) less than half our monthly average

Highest temp? 27 C/80 F
Lowest temp? -5 C/22 F (?)
Highest low? 17 C/63 F
Lowest high? 5 C/42 F (?)

Highest dewpoint? 15 C/59 F (?)
Lowest dewpoint? -15 C/8 F (?)

Hard to tell if it's been sunnier than normal, but that would be likely.

Overall, average temp and above average precip. While last year we dipped to 48 and reached up to 98, it was a warmer month last year. First month where there wasn't too much a difference of what to expect. May has already started off hot with July temps, but the humidity has flucuated, so at least it's not a constant humidity like it will be soon.
