I cannot ever remember such a long cold dry spell in April before and I have been lambing at this time for over 50 years.
Plenty of frosty mornings when you drive around and leave black marks on the grass but the days are normally really warm. This time the North wind blows from the east or west and is relentlessly cold with the temperature briefly getting to 9'C in the middle of the day if the sun comes out after nights as low as -5'C.
The forecast is little better with cold nights continuing and days might get up to 12'C and not a drop of rain, less than 4mm this month!!
Grass has stopped growing and it looks as if March will have been warmer than April will be.

По прогнозам экспертов, экстремальные явления, связанные с глобальным изменением климата, будут участиться и станут более значительными. Точные биологические эффекты жары должны быть определены в ближайшие годы, поскольку ученые продолжают следить за местными сообществами.

According to experts' forecasts, extreme events associated with global climate change will increase in frequency and become more significant. The exact biological effects of the heat should be identified in the coming years as scientists continue to monitor local communities.
