 Uni roof patio station: Average temps vs 1991-2020 (2011-2020) High: +0.7 (-0.2) Low: +0.3 (+0.2) Mean: +0.6 (+0.1) Sunshine vs 02-18 (I'll update with 91-20 normals in a few days): 116% Precipitation vs 91-20: ~150% ((precipitation for feb and apr are only estimated atm) A fairly sunny April, though average compared to the last three years. A little above average in temps, but more stable than normal, and average compared to the last 10 years. A bit more precipitation than normal, almost all of which fell in frozen form. All in all a pretty decent April. Could've wished for a warmer warmest day though. I found a WOW observation PWS in Klabböle, just west of Umeå. I've always said it'd be very nice to have a station just west of Umeå where the altitude is still low (this one is at 27m ASL)  Its site rating is 3b, meaning it's got a standard exposure and a recently calibrated thermometer in a Stevenson screen/AWS screen. (It's using a Froggit HS1000SE PRO) Its readings seem very reasonable. Considering that the April record high is only 0.2'C higher than the airport, I think it's fair to say that it's not affected by direct sunlight in any significant way. Precipitation seems to be pretty accurate apart from the fact that it's not a heated precipitation meter. So only liquid or melted precipitation is measured. Note: Jan 14-20 were missing and so the airport was used to fill in those days. Max/Min mean is shown for January, true mean is shown for other months For comparison, here's a traffic agency station about 12km west of the Klabböle station. (Klabböle is about halfway between the airport and this Brattby station), but at 105m ASL instead of 27m ASL. This one is reasonably accurate; its location is about 5m away from a road, and the surface right underneath is half gravel, half grass. In other aspects it's located within a ~50x50m field that the road passes through.  Also, note how every other station than the airport station (Uni, Klabböle and Brattby) all had milder nights in February than in January? This is because February was a lot less cloudy than February, which meant the airport got unproportionately cold nights since it's so prone to radiational cooling and pooling of cold air. |

No idea. I really wish we could easily obtain it. Yeah, I really don't get it. They record it, and publish when there are records set, and include it in the 30 year averages... but we don't get to see it along with the rest of the daily weather stats? Why? Thankfully Saskatoon has an official weather station in town that does publish their sunshine hours, so that's really nice to have. Just wish it was available for all cities in Canada. |

 Another mostly shitty month however the end of the month was interesting as there were rain chances before rapid warming. Hopefully May will be good like all odd-numbered months were. Averages: 32/19 (91/66) Records (°F): 107/56 Lowest high (°F): 74 Highest low (°F): 75 Rain: none I was in Newport Beach between the 16th afternoon and the 24th morning. Saw some surfers at the Wedge the day before leaving. Amazing food scene and great weather. Would love to go there again.  Decent, I guess. Averages: 22/13 (72/55) Records (°F): 83/50 Lowest high (°F): 60 Highest low (°F): 60 Rain totals: 0.06 in (0.16 cm) Rain days: 1 |

Only the third time since records began that back-to-back Aprils failed to reach 80°F   |

REPOSTING DUDE TO NEW 1991-2020 AVERAGES. With my average temperatures rising by a considerable degree and average precipitation and snowfall changing I decided to repost. New deviations are from the new averages.  |

A range of just 9.6 to 27.5, over four months? That's impressively low for a place that is far from the equator. Ridiculously stable. Montréal, Québec, Canada April 2021  Chicago, IL, United States April 2021  Montréal looks great. Chicago looks dry. They missed a few storms of ours it seems. Still 10x wetter than Turpan Saskatoon this year.
Edit: It's only 9x wetter through the 8th.

April was average, mostly because of the mid-month warm spell, but the end of the month was catastrophic which really hampered spring progression.
Highest high: 17.8C (18th) Highest low: 4.2C (12th) Lowest high: 3.0C (3rd) Lowest low: -4.3C (8th) Anomolies from 91-20; High: -0.5C Mean: -0.4C Low: -0.3C Precipitation: -9 mm (72.7%) Sunshine: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (probably very close to normal) Mean temp anomolies per decade: 1st: 0.0C 2nd: +2.7C 3rd: -3.2C (coldest anomaly ever for the Artukainen station)

Here's a weather post for you Speagles84 @sproggles:
Very interesting that they recorded their record low in March (10th). And though Pellonpää has been operational only since 2008, it was their 2nd time they managed that feat.

Nobody's updated the table. Several other "record highs" are also completely wrong. (July, should be 32, Sept, 27, Oct, 25, Nov, 18). Don't believe everything you see on Wikipedia. Also, April 2021 was one of the driest in the UK but Buxton had a much drier one in 2011. |

This is pretty extreme, even on a Turku scale. The Artukainen station which has 19 Aprils under its belt, has managed a higher record low 11 years of those 19 compared to Buxton 2021. For the 1991-2020 normals Turku has seen a lower average low 3 years, twice with-1.5C and once with -1.8C, in 1997. And we are not talking about two similar climates in general. Amazing.

Well it took more than 3 weeks for the people at the water treatment plant to finally fill in the missing days, but I guess better late than never. A very average month. Temp departure: -0.2 °F (-0.1 °C) Precipitation percent of normal: 102% Precipitation days percent of normal: 111% Highest max temp: 91 °F (33 °C) / normal 90.8 °F (32.7 °C) Lowest max temp: 72 °F (22 °C) / normal 73.4 °F (23.0 °C) Highest min temp: 72 °F (22 °C) / normal 71.2 °F (21.8 °C) Lowest min temp: 52 °F (11 °C) / normal 49.6 °F (9.8 °C) No of days with max temp 90 °F+: 3 days / normal 3 days No of days with max temp below 80 °F: 7 days / normal 6 days No of days with min temp 70 °F+: 2 days / normal 3 days No of days with min temp below 60 °F: 11 days / normal 9 days Max daily precip: 1.27" (32.3 mm) / normal 1.26" (32.0 mm)  |

@kronan can you make a weatherbox with your PWS data? Alternatively, you could send me a file with all your logged PWS data and I could make weatherboxes since I'm pretty good with excel.
Like for real, I'd like it if you could email me a file with your logged PWS data (if you're okay with that of course). I'll gladly make averages for you. How long and consistent is your data series?
