I’ve been hearing about this all spring. “Wow, our weather has been really nice this year!”
Yep, it sure has. And these NOAA images show that living in the northwest was actually a warm and dry situation this spring. Along with much of New England.
On the top chart, the red is unusually warm. The blue is unusually cool. Most of the country is in blue.
On the bottom chart, brown is unusually dry. And for the first spring in awhile, most of Oregon and even parts of Washington, caught a break from the ‘endless rains’ of spring that we’ve experienced the last few years. Although, honestly, we finally turned things around during spring 2012 in Portland and the northwest.
Here is more on why most of the United States had an unusually cool and wet spring 2013.
