Hot summer days might arrived early this year

I have a feeling we're going to have a very hot summer here too in the UK. We've had some unseasonably warm days this March (so far), and looking back over my life, whenever we've had very warm March days, we've always had a very hot summer afterwards. Also, we tend to get the weather that the USA gets, only about two weeks later (something to do with the Gulf Stream I think).

The fact it might be flirting with temperatures upwards to about eighty degrees this week has really caught me completely off guard to say the very least. Especially considering this time last week around this time, there was some very frigid temps outdoors. It just goes to show you that the weather is absolutely insane. Those who think that the climate is changing in screwy ways are becoming more and more credible by each passing day it does really seem. Now it is a good thing that the weather is nice. I enjoy the nice weather more than I would enjoy the cold frigid weather that is normally around this time of year. And you never know what can happen. You cannot predict the weather anymore it seems, although that doesn't really stop people from trying. We've skipped Spring and really didn't have all that much of Winter as we are flirting with the levels of very early summer.

Oh man, where do YOU live? I feel like I've asked this before but I can't remember the answer. I was just going to start a discussion about this - I'm in Minnesota and it is going to be a high of 70 degrees today. 70 degrees! In the middle of March! What the heck! Most years we still have snow in March- it's insane. I wonder if it's global warming? I love the weather, but it makes me a little afraid for months like June, July & August - we are probably going to have 110 degree weather!

Yes, it seems like summer has arrived early this year. I live in Florida and it has been warm enough that I have actually been using the air conditioner. I was actually hoping summer would start late this year because summer in Florida tends to be too hot. I guess we don't have any say on the weather though, so I will just have to deal with it.

Yeah you are right hot summer days arriving early this year as it is scorching heat from the onset.

Near the capital of China--Tianjin,I live in there.I think Tianjin must skip the Sping time,because there is without snow in this winter.It is very warm when another city is snowing heavier and heavier.Today, just March,and the tamperature already gonna over 11C,the hot day is coming.Worst of all,I am wearing a down coat,I believe I must be the hotteat in this year.

It has been unusually warm here as well. Though I know how things go and the warm will only last a short time. It would be unusual for "old man winter" to give up this easily. I'm sure it'll snow here atleast once or twice more. But like everyone else I'll take the warm weather while the getting is good my crocus seem to enjoy it as much as the family does.

I think the weather across the country has not been too typical for this year. I can believe that the southern part of the nation can definitely be experiencing some summer weather earlier than usual.

In the Philippines, we only have dry and wet seasons. Well, it can even be said that, compared to other countries, it is always summer here, with the wet season just providing more rain. But I still remember days in Davao City when the climate was generally predictable. We planned our farming activities accordingly; our festivals and recreations too. June to November were rainy months. There would be rain every four days or so. This would be the time for upland rice planting. December to January would be cool and gently windy, but there would be less rain, about once a week or less often. These would be the corn (and sometimes mung bean and peanut) planting months. In Tagakpan, a village where I lived about 30 kilometers from the center of Davao City, February to May would be very dry. But these months had their compensations though. We would hear the songs of the cicadas. Being school vacation time, April and May would see children engaged in kite flying on the wide school grounds. Sometimes the adults would be tempted to join after the corn, peanut and mung bean harvests. Then it was very exciting because the kites were bigger and the adults were prone to have "kite aerial dogfights" until one would give up. These were just friendly competitions, no betting involved, with so much friendly joking and ribbing, and the dogfights would end because the strings broke or were too entangled, or the kites were too tattered to fly. The kites were equipped with a sound-making device called "hugonghugong" or "hagong" made of a palm leaf stretched tight by a bamboo strip. The device looked like a bow attached to the vertical and lateral frame of the upper/bigger wing. Sometimes without even looking, you can hear the kite attacking its opponent because the sound would be stronger and more persistent. The sound is made by the vibration of the palm leaf. The sound can be made distinctive by the size of the palm leaf and the size of the bow. Anyway, those days are gone now. And I haven't heard the song of a cicada for quite a long time now. Fast forward to the present. The weather here in Davao City has really changed. Days and nights are hot, and rain is quite unpredictable in frequency and sometimes volume. Fishers in Bago Aplaya, a village about 15 kilometers from the city center, tell me that they also have to cope with a high tide that's creeping slowly but farther and farther inland. You don't have to convince them about Global Warming - they can see it with their own eyes. That's why they take good care of the few surviving mangroves in their village.

Hi friend, in my country the heat of summer is so hot so every people find a place that have a beautiful and relaxing pool and sea,and im the one that searching a good place.

I lived in Savannah, Georgia for several years, and spring just came earlier for us. By May, the temperatures reached up to 90ºF, but I really just considered May "summertime" when I lived there. March was our spring time. However, when I lived in Ohio, March was still winter, and we were lucky to hit the 70s in May! I guess the perception of the season has to do with where you are located.
