April was quite warm. It was the 10th warmest on
record. It marked the second earliest recording of the first 100°F (37.8°C)
day on April 22nd. This data goes back to 1892 and the earliest date
was on April 19, 1989.
The average temperature for April was 69.8°F (21.0°C), which was 2.8°F
(1.6°C) above normal. The average high temperature was 3.4°F (1.9°C) above the
normal of 82.1°F (27.8°C). This corresponds to April 2012 marking the most days
with highs of 90°F (32.2°C) or greater since April of 1989.
Precipitation was once again lacking at 0.12” (3.05 mm) recorded at
the airport compared to the normal of 0.31” (7.87 mm). My location was close to
normal at 0.30” (7.62 mm).
