Those figures cover the averages all over Spain.
Quite surprised as I felt sure it was the coldest April since I've been here and also fairly wet.
I think many other posters seem to have a similar impression.

Just read snippet in the local paper, showing figures from the State Met Office whch states that last month April was Warmer than average,(by 0.8%) and Drier than normal,(by-2%).

Looks like the unpronounceable volcano isn't quite done with its fun and its about to cause yet more disruption. Still, on a more positive note it would be sweet irony if the BA strikes go ahead and coincide with the Volcanic shutdown....
