April Weather Lore April is a changeable month that can bring both winter & summer weather depending on what mood it is in. The idea of April showers comes from the fact that increased surface heating overland spurs on vigorous convective conditions in an atmosphere that is still cold from the previous winter thus leading to sudden showers. Despite this, April is statistically the driest month of the year in Ireland and also one of the sunniest. Here is some old weather lore from around Europe & the rest of the world for this moody month: -April showers bring summer flowers. - A cold April – the barn will fill. -A cold April brings bread & wine (France) - A cold and wet April fattens the cow (Portugal) -April weather, rain & sunshine together. -Fogs in April foretell a failure of the wheat crop next year (USA) -Whatever March does not want April brings along. -Snow in April is manure -Betwixt April and May if there be rain, 'Tis worth more than oxen and wain. -Cloudy April, dewy May.—FRANCE. April showers bring forth May flowers. -After a wet April a dry June. -After warm April and October, a warm year next. -Thunderstorm in April is the end of hoar-frost. -When April blows his horn, It's good for hay and corn. -When April shall shrilly sound his horn, On earth there will be plenty of hay and corn.(UK) -If it thunders on All Fools' Day It brings good crops of corn and hay. -If the first three days of April be foggy, there will be a flood in June. -When in this month winds prevail, it is good for both meadow and tillage lands. -Till April's dead, Change not a thread. -April snow breeds grass |
