March

14 years ago

Basically the period from March 10 to April 9.

"Normal" Avg high during the period.... Hi53F/32F

This period March/April 2012

Hi68F/47F/thats +15F above avg!

Look how close our lows were to the normal high.

We have had past March weather as cold(avg)as 40F for highs.

Also....

28 days in a row 60F or better(only one day under)and 25 days in a row with no temps in the 30s at all!

10 days 80F or higher and almost 600 GDD compaired to 67 last year in March and still

double last years GDD in April!

April is pretty much spot on avg this year(which seems odd after March)complete with typical April frost...

I was just thinking of you watching Today Show weather map with freeze warnings all over Iowa and Midwest. While were under wildfire warnings since it's so dry and windy. Covering things back up?

Covered the Bananas,EE's and Castors...what good is an early warm spell if old man winter clips the new growth(-:

33F at my place last night BUT yesterday at one point we had 67F dewpoint 7F ! and 10% humidity!

The temps drop fast in dry air,dropping to below freezing after a high of 67F is not the norm.

Already at 37% now,I bet the humidity drops to about 8% or lower today.............I think with our lack of rainfall June 2011/April 2012 we would qualify as a desert.

And all this follows the highest dewpoint I have ever seen here last year 84F !

Calling for lows of 35 tonight. Alot of EE's will get covered along with some succulents. I think my bananas will be fine. Potted cacti will get brought indoors. Hopefully this will be the last frost.

Weather here resembles Southern Cal., not too warm, mild days/cool, frost free nights, crystal clear but with red flag warnings for days now as it's so dry and windy. Fires all over and it's not even hot yet. I do remember early April heat waves--as recent as two years ago, but the dryness is just so weird now following a year with over 80 inches of rain. Today, was supposed to be overcast, cool and showery--it's sunny with high fire conditions instead. Supposed to warm up over the weekend and see forecast of showers--I hope. This sunny, dry weather gets boring real fast!

Its been very very dry here lately. Today Suffolk County (eastern Long Island) declared a state of Emergency because of the wildfires. I remember one day in March having only 10% humidity, thats really crazy! Not used to it being this dry here and I have really had to water all the plants a lot despite the lack of hot weather. Small chance of rain tomorrow, but it looks like it wont be another week before our next good chance of rain. Time to water the plants!
