All a bit of history repeating?

Seems we are either repeating the April of last year (excluding volcano) or 2007 or even 1989 - either way it appears that the very long dry spell and warm temps may mean a very wet May. Back in 2007 we had a very warm and dry April (record breaking) then record breaking May for wet.

Anyway - here are some photos:
