Very Warm Weather Visits United Kingdom
While much of eastern North America has been dealing with very cold temperatures so far this April, it has been a different story on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Recently, unseasonably warm temperatures have visited the United Kingdom, even breaking some records. On April 19th, St. James Park in London recorded a temperature of 29.1 degrees Celsius (84.4 Fahrenheit), which broke the old daily record of 27.8 C (82 F). Thursday was also the warmest April day in London since 1949, when the temperature reached 29.4 C (85 F).
