Spring Season Temp Trend

Tags:   spring  
The featured chart presents yearly average temperatures for Ames during the spring season months of March, April, and May. A simple linear trend line is fit to the data and does not show much of a trend over these years for this period. Our start to spring 2024 got off to a very warm start, but has settled back into more seasonable temperatures. The forecast for the remainder of March looks to be warm again with a warm start to April expected as well. The featured chart does not include data for 2024 yet, but it would seem this year has a good chance to be above average versus the previous two that were not.
