So, Punxsutawney Phil doomed us, but NOAA and the Old Farmer’s Almanac offer hope. March 20th is spring, but WHEN will it actually feel like it? Is the rain gonna ruin everything? Need to know when to swap snow boots for sandals! Cincinnati friends, weigh in!
The thing to remember is that ‘average’ doesn’t mean ‘constant’. Even if NOAA and the Almanac are right about above-average temperatures overall, we’re still likely to see fluctuations.
Here’s my take:
March: Expect some warmer days, but don’t be surprised by some chilly ones too. Think early spring flowers cautiously peeking out, then ducking back under when it gets cold again.
April: Could be a real mixed bag. Potentially more consistent warmth, but still a chance of a late frost. Keep an eye on the 10-day forecast.
May: Generally the month where things settle into a warmer pattern. But even then, we can still get unexpected cool spells.
The rain is harder to predict. The Almanac says wetter than normal, so be prepared. Keep your gutters clean! You need it!
