UK's Met Office says April won't be hottest recorded

The Met Office has responded to speculation about April potentially being the hottest on record in the UK. Despite Coral Bookmakers lowering their odds, the Met Office stated there is no evidence to support this claim. The agency indicated that April may experience a mix of cool and warm spells, with near-average temperatures expected. They noted that it is too early to provide a definitive forecast for the entire month. Currently, the long-range forecast suggests unsettled weather with possible rain and showers. While some areas may see dry conditions, temperatures are likely to fluctuate, with a chance of below-average temperatures at times.
