Don’t Put Away That Coat, As Spring 2023 In Pennsylvania Is Predicted To Be Mild And A Bit Wet
As winter continues to barrel along, we now know that we unequivocally and sadly will not be welcoming an early spring. Phil has spoken, and we still have six more weeks until the warmer, sunnier days of spring officially arrive. Chances are we won’t have too much to complain about this spring either if you believe the Farmers Almanac’s spring weather prediction for Pennsylvania.
The Farmers Almanac has released its annual spring weather forecast for the United States and Canada, and it looks like we’ll be in for a relatively normal season here in Pennsylvania.
Spring officially kicks off on Monday, March 20, 2023, a little more than a week after we spring forward with the clocks. The time change for spring 2023 is March 12 at 2 a.m.
The overall forecast for the Northeast, of which Pennsylvania is a part, is mild temperatures with near-normal precipitation. That’s pretty impressive, considering the overall prediction for the United States is there’s a “soggy, shivery spring ahead.”
While April showers bring May flowers, the rainiest month of the year in Pennsylvania typically isn’t during the spring. It is July, which also happens to be the sunniest month in Pennsylvania.
Floods are the most common in spring, usually in March and April, and frequently occur after a snowmelt/winter thaw. Spring snowfall also isn’t uncommon in Pennsylvania, so don’t put away the warm clothes, shovels, snow blowers, and salt just yet.
