Spring 2012 Thread (March-May) (climate, snow, warm, recorded)

[Weatherfan2]

Today nearly managed to be the warmest day of the month, reaching some 11.8°C, then a shower came and it dropped.

Compare this dismal cold weather to March when it reached 20°C and even February reached 14.4°C.

Of course it won't happen, but it would be cool to see flakes fly so late in April.

That's 53 F for us Imperial users. Pretty impressive if that's all it's managed for the month of April...whew!

Yes, it's the coldest April since 1989. April is more like winter than summer here, by far anyway looking at the averages.

[dunno what to put here]

Monthly precipitation is fast approaching 100mm here and if it does, it will be the first month to do so since November 2009.

The U.S drought monitor just released their weekly numbers; post Northeaster. Wasn't enough to end the drought, but it's a start. Long Island is now D1 instead of D2 and most of Massachusetts except the immediate coastal areas are no longer D2. The western third of the state is now D0, meaning abnormally dry rather than drought conditions. Oddly, considering the highest precipitation totals were in CT, southern CT is still stuck in severe drought.

Regional Drought Monitor: Northeast

drought conditions from two weeks ago were poster here by wavehunter:

It doesn't look obviously dry where I am now, if we get sporadic rain we might be ok but it will get more iffy as it gets hotter.

We're having the worst weather in the entire world here, you could drown a duck in all this rain we're having. Lots of flooding on some of the roads. Rain just coming down and down and down and down for hours and hours.

We've broken 100mm/4in, the first month do so since November 2009.

Still raining now so even more to come.

If I live in the UK, my expectation of the weather would be so low that even a 50-degree overcast weather in May (or even June?) would be enough to cheer me up

That would be pretty much impossible between April and November. The UK's climate isn't that bad. London would be an improvement on Waterloo's climate.
