April finally began to warm up in the last week with the average temperature jumping from 3.1 degrees Celsius during the second week to 5.0 C in the last week. However, this is still well below the average for the month which sits at 6.5 C. Buds on a few trees are adding a slight colour to the woods but there’s a long way to go yet.
April also continues to be wetter than the previous period with a total of 33 millimetres of rain in the last week, bringing precipitation for the month-to-date to 63 mm for the month, which is slightly above normal – the first above-average rainfall since September.
April is forecast to continue on the cool side, especially during the day, with nights being slightly warmer than average. So far for 2025, average temperature is exactly on the average, and the average precipitation (rain and melted snow), is 80 per cent of normal.
