Hello, meteorological spring!
That’s right, winter is overwelling kind of! Meteorological spring began March 1. This makes it easier for meteorologists like myself to keep better track of spring temperatures, precipitation, and other trends when comparing one to another.
How was this winter for us? According to Climate Central, winter 2018-2019 was warmer than average. It was roughly two to four degrees warmer than average. In fact, that was a trend for most of the country as you can see on this graphic below.
What’s interesting is that Climate Central also incorporated its data to a recent study that shows that our sense of “normal” temperatures is limited to the last several years. The study done by Dr. Frances C. Moore of the University of California, Davis found that people largely compare temperatures to the past two to eight years.
The research team analyzed billions of U.S. Twitter posts from this winter. Those posts were compared to temperatures from 2011-2017. An interesting statement from the authors of the study was that “we may resemble the fabled frog that cannot recognize the pot it’s in is slowly boiling”.
The data shows that 27% of the weeks in Charleston felt below average but weren’t. It’s interesting, isn’t it? Recent perception certainly seems to play a role in how temperatures “feel” to us. And welcome to spring meteorological spring anyway! Also, heads up a big winter chill is headed our way the middle of this week!
