Third-warmest month of April ever measured
DE BILT (ANP) - Despite the wet ending, the month of April was one of the warmest ever. The average temperature recorded by the KNMI in De Bilt was 12.2 degrees Celsius. This makes April 2018 the third warmest since the start of measurements in 1901. Only in 1965 and 1998 was this month even warmer with 13.1 degrees.
On April 7, De Bilt measured more than 20 degrees for the first time this year and April 19 was the first day with more than 25 degrees. In total, the month had nine warm days (20 degrees or warmer) compared to three normally, and three summer days (25 degrees or warmer). Summer heat in De Bilt (or in the Netherlands) does not usually occur so early in the year.

Heavy rains caused many problems in large parts of northern Netherlands on Sunday night. On Twitter local residents complained about flooded streets and buildings, and even water streaming out of the toilet.
Drenthe saw a total of 63 millimeters of rain on Sunday evening, RTL Nieuws reports (video). Usually the whole Netherlands gets 61 millimeters of rain in the entire month of May.
Again, the Netherlands had to cope with plenty of rain especially in the North-Eastern part of the country. In Drenthe they received an entire month's worth of rain in a single evening.
In Southern Scandinavia, May has been like Summer. The old record for the average temperatur willl be broken by almost 1 degree Celsius. The exact numbers are still to come, but have a look at the temperatures in Europe for May 29, 2018 at 14:00 local time listed by ww..gismeteo.ru/maps/eur/temp/ Spain and Southern France is colder. It must be a major imbalance.
