One year on

The past few days have been amazingly warm across the country, even up here in the North East.  Here are a couple of photos from today when the weather feels more like late May than late February.

Here is a photo from exactly a year ago.

Last year's weather was pretty crazy overall, with a cold winter, wet spring, hot summer and dry autumn.  The first map shows 2018 winter temperature; blue = colder then average.

This is 2018 spring rainfall; blue = more than average.

This is 2018 summer temperature; red = warmer than average.

This is 2018 summer rainfall; brown = less than average.

And this is 2018 autumn temperature; red = warmer than average.

And this is 2018 autumn rainfall; brown = less than average.

Maybe we'll be in for another crazy year this year as well.  It has certainly started off like that.
