We're past the last day of April and major Canadian cities are "on track for historic April cold." April has been about 5 degrees below seasonal temperatures in Toronto. In addition, there has yet to be a day above 20 degrees. That last happened in 1999.
And the prediction is that "persistent warmth will be a struggle into May".
If we wanted to find out about the most extreme weather, the list of weather records is in wikipedia. What goes into a weather record? The top two are highest and lowest temperatures ever recorded. And then there are records for rain, snow, wind speed, tornadoes, cyclones, hail, lightning, ultraviolet index, and air pressure. What a lot of things for the weather to be extreme at! It is all HERE.
I thought the antidote to this difficult spring might be a revisit to the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls.
