spring Spring 2017 Thoughts, hopes, wishes, forecasts etc...

[reef]

We're on course for the warmest spring on record here with a mean of 10.4C, beating the previous highest of 10.3C set in 2011.

March was the warmest I've ever recorded and May is set to follow in its footsteps, comfortably beating 1992 and 1999.

Worth noting that out of the ten springs with temps 1.0C above average or more, only one (2003) has seen a summer follow with a mean of 16.2C or more. All but two were wetter than average aswell.

When I started this thread back in January, I don't think I could have imagined how calm, warm, settled and dry spring 2017 would actually turn out to be.
Lets see what's in store for summer 2017 shall we?

10.27C according to here:

but yes, the warmest spring on record meaning 5 of the 9 warmest springs have come since 1999.

I think I'd kill just to see another Spring 2013 before I die.

Me too.  Sadly it will probably take some freak event for that to happen anytime soon again such as a highly explosive volcanic eruption, North Atlantic Drift shutdown or the Eurotrash High and Polar Vortex trading places.
