While it has definitely increased in variability we’ve never gotten to our average temps in spring through consistency, it’s always been swings up and down. 62 at 7:48 AM. Yeah. March sucks. Worst month in the area. It's way worse up in the snowbelt. They'll be 55 one day followed by teens and blizzard conditions. Just like here but more intense. Well.. maybe not. We do go from 85 to snow the next day lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too warm too early for my liking. Why cant we just do 'normal' in early Spring sometimes lol. Right to late May/Early June weather. Fuck that shit. 2 hours ago, dailylurker said: I agree. What happened to having spring. We haven't had spring in years. It just goes from 40 and drizzle to 85 and humid. 55 and sunny would be interesting. Sweatshirt weather doesn't exist here. Just coats to shorts. 29 minutes ago, dailylurker said: Yeah. March sucks. Worst month in the area. It's way worse up in the snowbelt. They'll be 55 one day followed by teens and blizzard conditions.

One day I'm having to blast my furnace & space heaters, the next, screen doors open and window fans blasting. I've been trying to avoid uncovering the AC units, but with this warm stretch, and people visiting on Easter, I don't think I have a choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted Tuesday at 04:42 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:42 PM Loving these temps. Hoping we finally reached the last of the cold days. I'd be ok if we don't go below 50 until December. I actually like March, even with the temp swings, because I know that we're moving in the right direction. My least favorite weather month, probably by far, is November and more specifically I would say Nov 1 through December 31 leaves little to be desired weather-wise in this area. Once January hits, there's less wasted cold. Note, I do enjoy the holidays, just not the weather that time of year. Basically, outside of a Christmas miracle, I want it warm from March through December lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted Tuesday at 05:49 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:49 PM Idk, maybe it's because I'm right up next to the bay and the water is cold this year but it certainly hasn't felt like the warmest March on record at my house. But it's definitely warm today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted Tuesday at 06:37 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:37 PM 83 glorious day out. Cleaned up my backyard garden beds to get them ready. Clouds are starting to roll in but still enough sun with occasional wind gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted Tuesday at 11:53 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:53 PM Down to 79 from 82. Am trying really hard to not turn on the AC yet. Just looked and it is not supposed to get much cooler overnight. Hope ceiling fans and windows open make sleeping cool enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago My numbers for the month of March 2026. Total precip was 2.12 inches vs a normal of 3.52 inches, -1.40 inches below average. The greatest rainfall was on the 16th with 0.65" falling. There were 13 days with measurable, 1 day with a 'T' and 17 dry days. Total snowfall for the month was 0.5 inches vs a normal of 4.5 inches, -4.0 inches below average. The greatest snowfall was 0.4" on the 17th. There were 2 days with measurable, 2 days with a 'T' and 27 snowless days. The average high temp was 62.9 degrees vs a normal of 54.4 degrees, a +8.5 degrees above average. The warmest temp recorded was 83.9 degrees on the 23rd. The averaged low temp was 34.2 degrees vs a normal of 30.0 degrees, a + 4.2 degrees above average. The coolest temp recorded was 17.0 degrees on the 18th. Overall averaged temp was 48.6 degrees vs the normal of 42.2 degrees, a + 6.4 degrees above average and places it into a tie for 3rd warmest March with 1997. There were 17 days with winds above 25 mph. Several new records, 3 new record highs on the 7th, 12th and the 23rd. One new record 'cool max' set on the 18th. A wild and weird month, overall very warm and dry, with several days that went from near record highs to snow within hours. And several days the exact opposite of going from a very cool morning to near record highs by with 40+ degree swings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
