Lovely weather all day. 26th. Interesting weather, warm and, strangely, hazy and windy at the same time. 27th. Warm and very springlike but still windy. 28th. Lovely weather - cloudless, warm, still a bit breezy. Left my coat at home for the first time this year (about 2 weeks earlier than usual I think). 29th. Grey and cold in the morning, brightened up suddenly to become a beautiful day with a strong N breeze. 'The warmest April since 1987, and the fourth warmest in the last half a century.'
