        "content": "Here\u2019s a detailed look at the weather in London (using data from London WEA Center / Heathrow \u2014 Station 37780) during **April and May 1990**. Because daily data is spotty or incomplete in some sources, averages are drawn from station summaries; comparisons are also made to the long-term norms (especially 1961-1990) to put that spring in perspective.\n\n---\n\n## April 1990\n\nSource: Tuttiempo station data for April 1990. ([en.tutiempo.net](https://en.tutiempo.net/climate/04-1990/ws-37780.html?utm_source=openai))  \n**Key mountain of London WEA Center, altitude ~23 m**.\n\n| Metric | Approximate Value in April 1990 | Typical April (1961-1990 long-term average) |\n|---|---|---|\n| Average daily temperature | ~ 11 - 13 \u00b0C (daily means ranged around 11-13 \u00b0C) ([en.tutiempo.net](https://en.tutiempo.net/climate/04-1990/ws-37780.html?utm_source=openai)) | ~ 11.5-12.0 \u00b0C for mean max, ~ 3.3-3.6 \u00b0C for overnight minimums; long-term average mean around 7-12 \u00b0C depending on station ([metoffice.gov.uk](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/climate/maps-and-data/location-specific-long-term-averages/gcptq81bc?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Highs and lows | Daytime highs often between **15-20 \u00b0C**, nighttime lows often around **2-8 \u00b0C**, with some colder nights (even below 5 \u00b0C) early in the month. ([en.tutiempo.net](https://en.tutiempo.net/climate/04-1990/ws-37780.html?utm_source=openai)) | Average daily max ~ 11.96 \u00b0C; min ~ 3.57 \u00b0C; occasional frost early April in some years (avg ~ 3-4 days of air frost) ([metoffice.gov.uk](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/climate/maps-and-data/location-specific-long-term-averages/gcptq81bc?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Rain / Precipitation | Rainfall occurred on multiple days; in early April, intervals of drizzle, mist, light rain; cumulatively moderate rainfall over the month. Some days had no rain; others had light to moderate amounts. ([weatherspark.com](https://weatherspark.com/h/m/45062/1990/4/Historical-Weather-in-April-1990-in-London-United-Kingdom?utm_source=openai)) | Long-term mean rainfall in April ~ 52-55 mm; days with \u22651\u2009mm rainfall around 10-11 days ([metoffice.gov.uk](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/climate/maps-and-data/location-specific-long-term-averages/gcptq81bc?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Sunshine & Sky Conditions | Sky often overcast or mostly cloudy; frequent fog, mist and drizzle, especially early in the month. Some clearer, warmer spells mid- to late-April. ([weatherspark.com](https://weatherspark.com/h/m/45062/1990/4/Historical-Weather-in-April-1990-in-London-United-Kingdom?utm_source=openai)) | Normals generally show increasing sunshine through April, but still modest; sky largely variable. |\n| Wind & Pressure | Variable winds; early April saw relatively higher winds on some days; pressure generally moderate but with some day-to-day variation. ([en.tutiempo.net](https://en.tutiempo.net/climate/04-1990/ws-37780.html?utm_source=openai)) | No large departure expected versus climatology (typical low to moderate wind speeds) |\n\n### Interpretation & Anomalies\n\n- April 1990 ranged fairly close to long-term norms for temperature, though early April was probably cooler overnight than average, with gradual warming through the month.\n- Rainfall seems to have been somewhat typical or slightly above the norm in terms of number of wet days.\n- Conditions early in April were more unsettled: mist/fog, drizzle, cooler nights; mid-to-late April had some warmer, clearer stretches.\n\n---\n\n## May 1990\n\nSource: Tuttiempo data for May 1990. ([en.tutiempo.net](https://en.tutiempo.net/climate/05-1990/ws-37780.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n| Metric | Approximate Value in May 1990 | Typical May (1961-1990 long-term average) |\n|---|---|---|\n| Average daily temperature | Mean daily temperatures rising to **~ 14-17 \u00b0C**; daytime highs often reaching into low 20s \u00b0C by mid-month, nighttime lows often around 10-12 \u00b0C. ([en.tutiempo.net](https://en.tutiempo.net/climate/05-1990/ws-37780.html?utm_source=openai)) | Long-term mean maximums ~ 15.6 \u00b0C; mean minima ~ 6.4-7.0 \u00b0C; average mean around 11-13 \u00b0C depending on station ([metoffice.gov.uk](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/climate/maps-and-data/location-specific-long-term-averages/gcptq81bc?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Highs and lows | Some days in mid/late May reached highs of **22-27 \u00b0C**, though many days stayed cooler; lows rarely dropping below 9-10 \u00b0C. ([en.tutiempo.net](https://en.tutiempo.net/climate/05-1990/ws-37780.html?utm_source=openai)) | Pattern of warming is typical; occasional warm spells but also cool mornings. |\n| Rain / Precipitation | Multiple days with drizzle/light rain; some heavier rain on certain days. Total precipitation per station indicates rainfall on many days; some dry spells in between. ([weatherspark.com](https://weatherspark.com/h/m/45062/1990/5/Historical-Weather-in-May-1990-in-London-United-Kingdom?utm_source=openai)) | Typical May rainfall ~ 55-60 mm; days with \u22651\u2009mm rain ~ 10-11 days; moderate variability. ([metoffice.gov.uk](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/climate/maps-and-data/location-specific-long-term-averages/gcptq81bc?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Sunshine & Sky Conditions | More sunshine and clearer skies as the month progressed; fewer dense fog/mist periods; morning fog or mist on some days though. ([en.tutiempo.net](https://en.tutiempo.net/climate/05-1990/ws-37780.html?utm_source=openai)) | May often has substantial increases in sunshine; average sunshine rising from April values. |\n| Wind & Pressure | Winds somewhat lighter; pressures more stable with fewer strong disturbances compared to April. ([en.tutiempo.net](https://en.tutiempo.net/climate/05-1990/ws-37780.html?utm_source=openai)) | Typical pattern in later spring. |\n\n---\n\n## Overall Comparison & Context\n\n- **Temperature trend**: Spring 1990 saw the expected warming from April through May. April was cool but not exceptionally cold; May reflected a more pronounced spring warmth, with multiple warmer days, especially in the second half. Overall, May was likely a little warmer than typical early-spring averages, especially at daytime highs.\n\n- **Precipitation & Wet Days**: Rainfall was frequent in both months, especially with many days of drizzle or light rain. There may not have been extreme rainfall events overall, but no prolonged dry spells either\u2014consistent with London\u2019s spring norm.\n\n- **Sunshine & Severest Weather**: Early April was more overcast and misty; mid-to-late May had more sunny spells. There are no records of significant storms or extreme weather events noted in the station data for these months (for London in 1990) in the sources checked.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can pull up exact daily data (highs, lows, precipitation) for specific days of April/May 1990 in London (or compare that spring to recent ones) so you can see the variances day-by-day. Do you want me to do that?"
