Both ecm and gfs have consistently pointed to easterlies or northeasterlies in the medium range basically being driven by a strong Greenland High. ALso, do we have another Strat warm event in the making?

Quite a change the past few months from what we have got accustomed to over the years which leads me to think what sort of spring and summer maybe ahead, dare I say a record breaking hot summer, we must be due for one and I've had every sort of difficult weather to contend with for lawn work ~ hey ho.

There is a modest positive correlation between February temperature
anomalies and Spring temperature anomalies. Given that February was on
the cold side I would say that this Spring has an enhanced probability
of being colder than average.
