As we continue to trudge through Spring, we’re seeing much less snow showing up in our forecasts. In fact, we’re seeing much less precipitation in general (amounts wise). It’s not terrible news for those of us who are looking forward to the warmer weather, but it does come with the added risk of wildfires. It’s a delicate balance, but hopefully the much more active than normal start to the season will cause people to stay smart moving forward. Especially since we’ve already had some pretty heavy losses on the northern Avalon.

All that being said, while we did set a few new max highs last week, we actually set 11 new overnight low records. While that might cause some climate denying types to proclaim climate change to be void, let’s keep in mind the tally since January 1st so far this year is 66 new max high records vs 14 new min lows. That includes two all time monthly high temps in March. It’s still a clear signal in the hot direction. In the meantime, below are the average temperatures for the 2nd half of May.
