What's the weather where you are?

[Aya]

In Toronto, it is already in April but we are getting flurries time to time. I am not sure if it is unsual, but it feels the coldest I have ever experienced in this season living here.

In Copenhagen the snow from easter just thawed and temperature had levelled a few degrees over 0, today the skies are again filled with big snow flakes. Wonder what the actual odds are for spring or summer breaking this year.

Last year in Serbia we had a very hot summer, this winter was very mild, and now we had several days with more than 30oC. And today was 33oC (91.4 F)!

Today also in one city appeared some kind of giant swarm of flies!

Looks like Balkan is transforming into a tropical zone.

A snow storm blows outside my office window. I'm curious to know if this is close to a record for the latest snow of the spring. Just two days ago I was concerning myself with preparing and planting one of my garden beds. (Don't want to be too late, you know.) Now it seems that winter needed to have the last word. OK. I get it. Use the old Farmer's Almanac to start a fire in the fireplace. The Ozarks aren't supposed to be like this. Since 'normal' is calculated by adding the temperatures of the last 30 years and then dividing by 30 for the average of any one day, then throwing out the oldest year while adding in the newest; In this way a new normal creeps in almost unnoticed.

Whether one believes that the planet is warming or that we face an immanent ice age, there is no doubt that the weather is becoming more volatile.

Two days ago the volcano near my city threw a lot of ashes, curious thing I dreamed I was in a city full of snow, and something similar, it was full of ashes.

Two days ago the volcano near my city threw a lot of ashes, curious thing I dreamed I was in a city full of snow, and something similar, it was full of ashes.

At least, since two weeks ago, Mexico City had been having haze and contamination, with it's weird translucent sunlight, I think we are having ashes from the same volcano here, not that visible, but still, it can be seen it when we wash the sidewalk in front of the store. And I have been taking several photographs from red/orange sunsets, I do not remember seeing those colors from the sun in this month or this city. We were a couple of days this week at 29°C, it did not felt like that hot because, fortunately, it had been windy.

The last few weeks have been really hot and dry in Montréal. Around 25°C+ temperatures and no rain for about a week. The grass has started to dry up in many places and some bush have actually caught on fire a few days ago in front of where I live. The sprinklers that are used to deliver water there have entirely melted before they could be turned on. Beautiful rose plants have unfortunately been burned down. :(

But now the past few days have been cooler and we finally had some rain.

Out of the blue, a cold front came, and the temperature dropped, we were last week around 29°C, we are around 23°C. it is now, cold wind and hot-burnt sunlight. Curiously, that kind of weather –cold wind and hot/burn sunlight- had been persistant, from my point of view, at least since 2 years ago.

Adding Popocatépetl’s activity, that recently had increased; emergency rate is now at yellow Phase 3 and that means just one step before the Red Phase=evacuation of near comunities. Because it had been having, tremors, eruption with incandescent lava fragments, along with plumes of gas and ash.

It's been rain & wind predominantly today in South Wales, around 7 degrees.
A first in May I think, after some days of mild wind & sun with temperature more at 14 degrees.

 

[Laura]

Chilly and rainy here. About 9/10 C in the morning and not getting any warmer. That's 55 F. We've had a few sunny days sprinkled in, but mostly, rain and chilly-damp. Spring just is NOT getting any traction yet.

In Helsinki, Finland, on the other hand is now very sunny most of time and up to 17-18 degrees Celsius which fins would see as an anomaly at this time of the year. And this came after the snow receded nearly a month and a half later than usually.

After a delay in the arrival of spring, things twitched two weeks or so ago in Sweden, and in the middle and south of Sweden it soon became summer warm - now fluctuating between that and somewhat cooler.

We had 3 days of solid sunshine 10 days ago up here in north England, but now it's back to cold, rain, and chilly westerly winds once again :)

From frost very early last week to high 20'sC to even mid 30'sC in the interior of BC later last week, a cooling trend has resulted this week. The results of the prior week brought down a great deal of snow melt. Based on weather from the year before (which was very cold in spring) we are warmer in the main with minimal precipitation. Wildfires have spiked up last week and typically, without June rains, fire season can be extreme.

It was noted here that Swans arrived and stayed longer before migrating north and the Hummingbirds flew in about 2 weeks earlier then i've ever seen (although very happy to see them again).

This particular record for late-autumn has just been surpased:

"Sydneysiders have had it easy lately, the city has warmed to at least 20 degrees for the last 25 days, closing in on the late-autumn record, according to weatherzone.com.au."
