It always rains a lot in April, so I looked into why. It's important to understand why things are the way they are and why things work the way they work. So let's dig into the why April sees so many showers.
There are several reasons for it, and they all have to do with the jet stream. In April, it is moving north, bringing warm and humid summer air with it. The warm, humid air meets winters cool, dry air, creating an unstable atmosphere. The air above the land is getting warmer and warmer, but the sea is still very cold, so colder sea air meeting warmer land air adds to the odds of rain. Climate change has very little to do with it.
The weather doesn't know what to do with itself which is why it can go from 60 to 30 (or visa versa) in a few hours, snow the next day, then have a week of temperatures in the 70's.
