April was fairly average on the weather front across the Bulkley Valley and Lakes District.
According to Environment Canada, the mean temperature was 5.7 degrees, 0.8 above normal.
“At 0.8 degrees, it’s not very extreme,” said Meteorologist Derek Lee.
“That really doesn’t translate to it making it into the top 10 records of being the warmest but was trending a little bit warmer than normal.”
The month also saw 19.5 millimetres of rain – lower than the average of 26.6.
Last year, April recorded a mean temperature of 4.7 degrees and saw 12.7 millimetres of rain.
Today (Friday) is expected to be warmer than normal for this time of year with cooler temperatures returning tomorrow. (Saturday)
Despite that, Lee said warmer than normal temperatures could return in the latter half of the month.
