It would be hard to recall a more upside down weather month than this April, with a very warm first half, and a chilly end to the month. The April showers sure did arrive, but again, primarily in the second half of the month. Unfortunately, much of this rainfall occurred around weekends, putting a damper on golf and other outdoor activities.

With the flooding rains to closeout April, we more than doubled the average precipitation. However, despite the chilly weather during the last week of the month, the earlier handful of days in the 80s still had us at close to six degrees above average.

As we often say, when we close the book on this year it might actually be close to average from a precipitation and temperature perspective, but it was definitely a crazy rollercoaster ride to get there.
