"Germany’s April, 2021, was the coldest in 40 years, and the frostiest in over 90 years, according to the country’s DWD national weather service.

When warmer than normal temperatures get recorded, the German DWD national weather service is usually quick to hint at global warming induced change.

But now that April 2021 has turned out to be unusually cool, the DWD is quick to point out it was due to ” inflowing cool and dry air masses”, which of course is correct.

It’s just that they are slow to point out that inflows of warm air are the real reasons for warmer than normal months.

At its website here the DWD reports the preliminary results for April, 2021, for Germany.

The DWD uses data gathered from some 2000 stations across the country, and so the results are very reliable and tell us what’s going on across Central Europe.

It was “an April that was clearly too cool with an unusually large number of frost days”, reports the DWD.

Compared to the current and warmer reference period 1991 to 2020, the deviation was -2.9 degrees C.

Germany’s April weather was dominated by cool northerly winds that pushed the temperature level down significantly.

“After years of very warm April months, this year’s Easter month ended up being the coolest since 1980,” reports the DWD.

“Frost frequency also took on an unusual dimension.

With just under 13 days of frost on average at all DWD stations, it was the second frostiest April in this country after 1929.” "
