That was April. The past few days here have been unusually hot. Today it’s expected to reach 28°C. To give some background: the May average for 1961-1990 was 10.8°C, and for 2001-2010, 11.4°C.

Here on the western edge of the Selkirk range we had quite a mild winter, although a bit more snow than the past couple of years. Late winter and early spring seems to be becoming the norm here now.

Bryan, sure, but it wasn’t a long and cold winter for most people. IT was only long and cold (and dammit it is still cold many days!) in much of the Northern Hemisphere.

Oh, Eric, right, just saw your comment. What Eric said.

@Bryan: But the exceptional cold was limited to roughly the eastern 2/3 of North America. Areas between the Rockies and the Pacific, as well as most of Europe, had an unusually warm winter–no low-altitude frost in a region from southern England to northern Germany, a region which normally sees at least a few below-freezing days.

After that long and winter we had this year, It is crazy how our world can just turn around and then have one of the warmest month’s ever on record. I would say we deserve this warm weather after that brutal winter we had this past year.
