Comments: A fairly boring month, no great variation in temperature, no significant weather events, little rain and many dull spells in the first half.
Noticeably below average, I'd estimate for 80% of the month.
After a stellar March with consistantly above average temps and abundant sunshine,
as April rolled in, the temperatures generally stopped warming and our "normal," fairly-dark looking skies rolled back in.
Most of April had highs in the high 30's, 40's and 50's F with a few frosty evenings/mornings
and sushine amounts, I'd estimate them no higher than 40% of all total daylight hours...
Rainfall totals? Irrelevant;
during our dry spells it was still too cold for anything to grow much.
We definitely had "more than we need" for the month; a few days were ruined with too many hours of rain.
(One could easily tell from the expression on stranger's faces )

Overall your April might have been barely nicer. (higher average temps)
However,
we had two highs at 27 C,
at least one low at 15 C,
(it was still 23 C at 11pm from a strong SW wind )
and we had at least two days with thunderstorms.
Zero days with fog too.
(but we did get a handfull of completely sunless days, and a lot of days with intermittant "sunny periods" in between the gloom)
Our coldest weather is not something you'd be jealous of though:
-high of 1 C (?)
-low of -6 C (?)
RichardW, would you prefer Toronto's past April to Licoln, England's?

April 2009 was a pretty stock standard month, with both low and high temps sitting on the long term average. It was VERY CLOUDY ofcourse, as is typical in this miserable hellhole of a climate. A devastating cold snap saw 60 year old temp records reset. The lowest low temp since 1957 occured on the 30th, and the temp failed to reach 15C on 4 consequtive days for the first time in 50 years.
All in all, a crap month which was nearly identical to April 2008. Some people and literature will tell you that Melbourne has crisp clear days and nights in Autumn.....don't believe all that crap, it's not true.
highest high .................... 32.8C / 91F (2nd)
lowest high ..................... 13.6C / 56F (26th)
What tripe - 186 hours of sunshine at that latitude in April is perfectly respectable.
I concur...
6.2 hours of sun per day out of a possible 11-12 hours doesn't sound too bad...
Except that if in Melbourne it usually means mostly days with 11-12 hours of sun, and the rest mostly overcast.
*SAB, does Melbourne get a lot of days that are either clear or overcast, but few days in between?
Most of Toronto's year is between "mainly cloudy" and "partly cloudy."

Melbourne doesn't get alot of clear or overcast days, but what usually occurs are days with broken cloud with brief intermittent periods of sun. Melbourne could be best described as "mostly cloudy and partly cloudy" aswell.

Really?
For Toronto, a decent estimate of completely clear and completely cloudy days is between 25-50 and 100+ respectively.
