Feeling like May

Posted: 11 Apr 2014 05:38 AM

The past few days have been a welcome relief from the long stretch of cold and snow this past winter season. The featured chart presents the daily high temperatures this year in relation to when that temperature matches a day's climatology. For example, this past Wednesday's high was approximately the average high for the middle of May. So you can compare how far into the future or past the current weather felt like. Days with a high temperature colder than any average high are drawn back to the first of January. Not much relative warmth was to be had in February and March until the very end. The forecast for the next few days continues the warmth with chances of rain.
