Has Spring Sprung or Wot?

[Fnaar]

Spring is officially when I put my neoprene overshoes away.

Carol Kirkwood was the weather-forecaster on BBC Breakfast this morning, wearing a nice top.
She may have mentioned something about the weather. I'm not too sure.

Its not Spring yet.

I have yet to see my first bare chested yoof in baseball cap with T shirt slung over the shoulder and undercrackers on show.

It's funny you should use that expression - it's exactly what my dear, late nan used to say

It is when the softshell is relegated to the back of the cloakroom and the longsleave top is flavour of the month.

Softie.

I've been riding in a vest for weeks.

I always class the seasons as follows:
Spring - March, April , May
Summer - June, July, August,
Autumn - September, October, November,
Winter - December, January, February.

Exactly the sane here.

You've all got it wrong
Spring - March
Summer - late April or early May
Autumn - late May, June, July, August, September, October
winter - November, December, January, February

 

[on the road]

Or in some years
Spring - March
Autumn - April, May, June, July, August, September, October
Winter - November, December, January, February

The signs are here, the garden is stirring, I've seen my first first fair weather cyclist, but its cold enough to freeze the nuts off a polar bear, so spring isn't here just yet, but its on its way.

The meteorological spring is defined as the months March, April, May, hence it runs from 1st March to 31st May, as it is convenient for meteorological purposes to collate data by month. The astronomical spring is defined as the period from the spring equinox to the summer solstice, since it uses the passage of the sun to define the seasonal boundaries. Weather forecasters will, of course, use the meteorological definition.

Looks like Spring may be put on hold for a while if the weather forecast for next week holds true

Met Office: Much colder conditions are expected to develop early next week. Rain, sleet and hill snow in the southeast at first on Monday clearing away with brighter conditions elsewhere spreading south. Snow showers are likely to increasingly affect northern and eastern regions through next week, but all areas are at risk of seeing sleet, hail and snow showers at times. There is a risk of some significant and disruptive amounts of snow in places, but there is currently uncertainty regarding which areas are most at risk.

I had been planning to take my winter tyres off the bike at the weekend- think I'll leave it a while just yet!
