April Showers

To many people "April Showers" is synonymous with the song published in 1921 and made famous by Al Jolson but there have been several films with the same title made at various times since then in 1923, 29, 48, 93 and 2009. Another film with a similar title "April's Shower" was made in 2006 but today I'm using it in relation to the weather.

The BBC Weather pages say that the phrase "has become synonymous with the weather during the month but it is some way off the truth". It was not far wide of the mark today and as today is the last of April, I won't be able to use it again as a title until next year!
