2008: Seventh Warmest Recorded Spring Globally

The numbers are in for the Spring months of March, April, and May. 2008 shaped up as having had the eighth warmest Spring across the globe with May the eighth warmest. Here in North America, the numbers were not as positive, but were more than offset by readings across the planet. The Northern Hemisphere had just about the least amount of snowcover ever recorded, and Eurasia did. Most forecasts for the summer and autumn expect trends of increased warmth to strongly continue, and one can expect next winter and spring to be considerably warmer and less snowy across North America than the ones just completed.
