April 2013 was a phenomenal month in Duluth. It will go down in records as not only the snowiest April, but the snowiest month ever in Duluth, with 50.8 inches (129 cm) of snow beating the former record holder (November 1991) by 0.7 inches and smashing the former April record set in 1950 of 31.6 inches (80 cm). It was a cold month, with a mean temperature nearly six degrees below normal, offset by a warm-up at the end of the month. Temperatures ranged from 8 degrees F (-13 C) on the 14th to 68 degrees F (20 C) on the 28th at the International Airport. The cold persisted until the 26th, and a record was set on the 20th with 11 degrees F (-12 C), probably the coldest temperature that has been recorded so late in the year. More to come on the 1st when (semi)-finalized April climate data is out.

I will have to wait until past midnight tonight to put up the data table for April. I'm doing it differently this year. I will directly post the table from my spreadsheet for every single day rather than do the usual text summary, because it shows every day's high and low, etc... and gives a much better idea of the month's weather.

What can be said about April here? Really poor for a spring month IMO. Started much too cold, colder than January for the first 8 days.

And, for spring, an extremely boring month. Of course colder than average as usual, but lacking in weather entirely. The "mildest" parts were cloudy and drizzly suicide weather. For a month with so much potential weather voriety, this month was totally wasted. A month that can get snow, thunderstorms, hailstorms, warm spells, yet not one of these occurred. Therefore it defaults to an "F" for Failure.

To be honest apart from some parts of winter the weather has been F'ing boring in the UK since last August. Yaaawwwwn.

I give this April a C- which is a very low grade coming from me. The beginning was just too cold, and the end is too warm. Only thing that saves it from a D is a great week from 8th to 14th of April. It was also too dry, with only 47mm out of the usual 61. Good news are that May seems very mild and rainy.

Okee Dokee, sunshine hours for April are in now, so I can show off the final table.

Sorry, no imperial units.



Pretty easy to understand I should hope...if you don't like the colours, tough, I do. BTW GR/GS is hail or ice pellets.. the others should be pretty obvious.

And for the year:



Well, that's the coldest third of the year out of the way, things can only get better!

Nice, France - April 2013

Started crappy but ended very nicely, oddly enough most of the warmest days were very cloudy.
Yesterday was very special, 23.5°C @ airport station, 25°C+ downtown, completely overcast, very dry and windy; with a spectacular thunderstorm at night (and I lived in Singapore so I've seen some pretty serious storms!)
