April temperatures were variable. We finally got some of those springtime temperatures we should have had in March. April was again a dry month.

This is the 3 month trend for temperatures at the Rock Hill Airport.

This is the 3 month average showing our rainfall being considerably below normal for the past quarter.

This is the 12 month average, which doesn't show as big a deficit as the 3 month trend.

This is the monthly trend,  showing February, March, and April to be the driest since before 2009.

This is the year to date trend, showing this year to be much lower than the previous 3 years.

March was Warm and Dry

Continuing our season of little winter, March was very warm - possibly breaking the record of most days in the month with high's above 80. March was also one of the driest in recent history, which could cause trouble because April is traditionally the driest month of the year. In this area, April showers do not bring May flowers.

The red line is the normal high and the blue line is the normal low. As you can see, for a large part of the month, our average daily temperature was at or above the normal high.

Rainfall for the second consecutive month was the lowest since 2008

The 12 month running total however, isn't anywhere as bad as it was in February of last year.

February rainfall was well below normal for the month. The lowest in the past 4 years.
