Same. Way cooler than normal. In fact it was 38 degrees yesterday morning. Central Mo.Usually they are 10 degrees higher in my area by now. Only averaging in the high 60s.
Maunder minimum kicking it into gear?
How are things where y'all live?

Yesterday was our first 100-degree day here in the Phoenix metro area.
Today--High 100F, low 68F
Friday--97F, 65F
Saturday--93F, 66F
Normal for this time of year is 92F-67F, according to AccuWeather. So. Phoenix is running a little warm, but not by much. Last summer was the hottest on record here, and we had virtually no rain. I estimate that about 10% of the landscaping plants in my neighborhood succumbed to the heat.
Yeah, I am happy I went with a container garden this year. It's a PITA hauling everything inside but beats losing stuff. My baby chicks are fully feathered but I still don't want to put them outside yet.The lower then normal temps here in n.ga are screwing up my normal gardening plans as I usually plant at the beginning of may and the government is projecting that we'll get overnight temps in the mid 40's at the end of NEXT week. I am risking planting the tomatos and squash but I am holding back the herbs and sweet potatos for another couple of weeks. And the sweet potato slips really need to go into the ground. Also holding back planting the beans as I don't want to risk the seeds rotting in the ground.
It will be interesting to see when the commerical guys plant their corn fields

One year in St Paul it was 80°+ the first weekend in May. The next year it was 20°. Late 80's. In 1973 April 9 we had a 12" snow closing down the whole state of Iowa. This year we had a few days of 75-80°. Now a couple of weeks of highs in the mid 60's.Most of us have lived long enough to realize that ‘normal’ isn’t always normal.
We've had a few warm and a few hot days here in West Virginia (70s and 80s) and we had 43F this morning for an over night low. Right now we're at 63F.
