April 2025 Weather in Durham
A superb start and end to April
April 2025 opened superbly, with perfect blue skies and reasonable temperatures for early Spring.
There was a nagging Easterly wind though; the position of the stable high pressure cell was feeding air from a chilly direction, meaning that it was warm in the sun as long as you were out of the breeze.
It was completely dry in the first half of April, in sharp contrast to last year. There were Frosty on the mornings of 7th and 8th April.
The temperature reached 21.4 degC on 11th April, the warmest day in April since 21st April 2019
Only two days failed to reach 10 degC; the 9th (8.9) and the 16th (9.9).
From the 13th, the temperature dropped markedly, but just back to ‘normal’ April conditions.
Then the last few days of the month were superb, with lots of warm days and temps reaching the mid 20s. This was approaching a record high for April in Durham.
The month will rank in the top 5 warmest Aprils at Durham.
The first rain of the month arrived on the morning of the 16th, but it was slim pickings.
Only 3.5mm of rain had been registered in Durham by 30th. It fell on only 5 days. Once again, a ‘top 5’ month.
