This covers the spring quarter (MAM).

This is an example of a season with a strongly positive NAO
index having very little relationship with the weather over the
UK.


A strongly positive NAO index in Spring normally means it rather wet in
Cornwall, with plenty of sea mist. But it's been a particularly dry warm &
sunny spring here. Partly due to the intensity of Azores high, but also due
to the fact that on many occasions fronts tended to cross Cornwall quickly,
then stall further east. May was when of the best months I can ever
remember.
