April 2013 Weather Statistics – Watford

Summary for April 2013

April across CET Central England Temperature area was another in the series of below average months this year coming in at 7.4c (-1.1c)* Its been a sunny month but as the wind has been blowing in a easterly direction it has produced cool weather depressing the temperature at times. 

There was a mini pulse of warm weather around the 25th which gave the highest temperature of the year of 22.9c. Spring growth has been held back this year due to the cold and has only sprung into life in the last week of the month.

Blossom arriving last week of the month.

May
Looking ahead it looks like more of the same with a blocking pattern of high pressure migrating from Scandinavia to the Atlantic producing easterly or northerly winds. Although high pressure will be quite close by producing less rain for the month but with warm pulses of air from the east / SE as the continent warms up. Any easterly winds coming across the North sea will depress the temperatures as the sea is colder than normal  after a colder than average winter / spring.

December Events 2023

The last month of the year is upon us; I hope you have had a good year. I certainly have, with lots of projects bearing fruit and with lots more planned for 2024. It was the first year I shot over 110,000 photos and attended plenty of events that I still think I have been lucky to attend.

November Events 2023

As the chill in the air deepens and the nights embrace us earlier each day, this is the time of the year when the skies burst alive with the dance of fireworks and our streets become a canvas of twinkling Christmas lights, there are plenty of lights switching on this month. from Oxford Street to Watford Town. Which are all great to photograph.

October Events 2023

October has arrived, and after a record-warm September, will the month continue in the same way? There are lots of events listed below, some of which I will be covering at various press photocalls. Look out for an article later this month on how to get into these events. My annual calendars are nearly ready to be sent to the printers; they will be added to my website in the 2nd half of the month. There will be four calendars: Watford, Fashion, London and my favourite photos from the last 12 months.
