April 1998

Went to pick up the benefit forms in the rain.

April 3rd. Cold-front weather.

April 6th. Cold-front showers.

April 7th. More showers, thunder and lightning too. Lovely weather in between 'em.

April 9th. Good invigorating rainy weather.

'Generally extremely wet - the wettest since 1818 over England and Wales' [...]

April 10th. Dark and rainy in the morning. Terrible floods everywhere.

'Widespread and exceptionally severe flooding across the Midlands and East Anglia on Maundy Thursday 9th'

April 12th. A snow flurry at 2pm and several heavier ones later. Very cold (2 C).

April 15th. Miserable, wet, dark day. Quite heavy snow for a while, very wet though.

Widespread snow showers midmonth to the 15th, leading to a "white Easter" in some places

April 16th. Much better weather, at least till it started raining about noon.

April 19th. Rained most of the afternoon and was still raining at 6pm when I felt better and went out for a walk. I associate rain with recovery for some reason, possibly because of 'right as rain'.

April 22nd. Beautiful weather, hottest day of the year so far apparently.

'A warm day on the 22nd, though' [...]

April 25th. A short thundery shower about 6.30pm.
