NH's Long-Term Spring Forecast Should Warm You Up
April and May are expected to be warmer than usual, and temperatures should start normalizing once we approach summer.
It's still kind of chilly out there, but a long-term spring forecast has things heating up soon. The Weather Channel's spring outlook has above-average temperatures for the next two months as the region drags itself out of a winter that saw some exceptional cold. Forecasters at the Weather Channel said their climate and statistical models mostly agree that the next few months will be warmer than usual.
The big thaw is expected to begin in April, with higher-than-normal temperatures forecast. The warm-up should continue in May, but we may see a cooling off period due to the above-average soil moisture thanks to the late-season snow. If El Niño conditions persist, that could also level off temperatures a bit.
Temperatures are expected to get back to normal in June, which isn't so bad since "normal" means pretty warm heading into the summer.
