Well I'm assuming it must be the equal lowest ever as there was zero rainfall and so it couldn't have been less. In fact I'd venture to say that many other rainless April's didn't have such low DPs as this one. Incredible after the record breaking autumn and early winter rain.

I ended up with 0.8mm, which is the same total as 2007, however I had 2 x 0.2mm recorded from dew/frost. 2007 isn't  year like 2021 at all as it is my warmest April in my series since 1960 with an average maximum of 17.3°C. Also that year (2007) was my sunniest April with 272.59 hours, 2021 220.96 hours.

Strange weather.
