It hit 68F (20C) here on December 1. Fast forward to April 1 and I don't even remember what outdoor temps around 70F feel like. However, it shouldn't be too long before we're experiencing such temps again.
Upstate it's even worse, we haven't had a 50 since January 4. We haven't had a 70 since distant October 28. If we don't hit a 70 by April 28, that will be an entire half year without touching the seventies
The map is perhaps not that exact as they have recorded eg here in Estonia 16.2c/61.1 F and
17.1 c/62.8 F in an unofficial station in this March.
According to the map St Petersburg, Russia and Stockholm, Sweden have had higher temperatures but that is not correct says weatheronline
However, the highest temp which they recorded in an official station was 15.1c in March.
It's the coldest Feb-March combo on record at the CT coast, Hartford, Worcester, Boston, Concord, Portland, State College, Allentown, Albany, Binghamton, Syracuse!!!
It's the first time averaging in the 20s at Bridgeport, CT!
Feb-March 27.2°F beat the 30.1°F in 1978
Is this Abrupt enough? The peak warmest didn't come from the bottom coldest. So the cold drop is much more impressive.
Top is weather underground, bottom is national weather service. Seems like weather underground has been consistently warmer in its forecasts, last week the NWS came out closer, another time they were tied. The NWS has 41°F/54°F, not shown in the graphic but shown in the text.
The forecasts have converged for the next few days.
The forecasts have converged for the next few days.
NWS changed its forecasts to warmer, underground cooled theirs a bit. But wunderground is still slightly warmer than the NWS.
Never thought I'd hear so many people get exciting for just 2 days of 50°+ this time of year. Last week was just once. This week twice. Next week trended cooler.
NWS Forecast tomm and Friday. Enjoy! Clouds and Rain wont have same effect Friday.
Normal amount of times hitting 50s in March is 11 times here. I bet we only hit it 5 times by end of month. Record is 22 in 2012.
Final Total:
5
4th least amount of times hitting 50°F or warmer in March. 1960, 1956, 1984 had less.
