Whilst it has been unbroken sunshine here in South Devon, I would
debate whether you could say that Spring has arrived?

I once recall Philip Eden, correct me if I'm wrong, saying that a good
indicator of when Spring has arrived is when the average daily
temperature exceeds +6.0°c

Last night in my Teignmouth back garden the temperature fell to -2.6°c
The maximum today is a around +8.9° http://www.greatweather.co.uk/teignmouth/current.html
Therefore the mean daily average was a chilly +3.15°c


Using the official Teignmouth weather data from 1st March, the mean
average temperature in Teignmouth for March is currently only +4.67°c

Date,Min,Max
01/03/2010,+1.0,+8.7
02/03/2010,-0.2,+8.9
03/03/2010,+2.0,+8.9
04/03/2010,+2.2,+6.9
05/03/2010,-0.2,+8.5

I would therefore say we are currently still in Winter based on
temperature, rather than Spring.

I appreciate the standard definiation of the seasons is;

Winter, Dec,Jan,Feb
Spring, Mar,Apr,May
