Canterbury residents enjoy hottest April in over 350 years!
Residents across Britain have been enjoying a particularly warm-dry spell as the weather appears to be very similar to that of the Mediterranean.
This week Canterbury residents have been enjoying highs of almost 30 degrees, that's over double the typical temperature usually expected this time of year. Although of the last decade British weather has shown to be far from ordinary, with heavy snow falling in October/ November and even in February.
Delia Murphy, 61, a resident of Wincheap told the Kentish Front: "The weather is lovely, everyone should take advantage of it, I definitely will be in my garden! (laughs)." Mrs Murphy is right, everyone should make the most of it, as we Brits are prone to having absolutely awful Summers of rain and cold winds.
A BBC weather correspondent said: "The UK-wide records began in 1910, but the central England temperature series goes back to 1659, making it the warmest April here for over 350 years."
Considering it's the hottest April in 350 years, it may be worth dusting off the old sun tan lotion in the back of your cupboard and lapping up as many rays of sun as possible, because it's only a matter of time before England and Canterbury go back to normal!
