Are the seasons changing?

Have the seasons fallen out of line?...

We are now basking in way above average temperatures for Spring almost record breaking infact.

Very little in the way of rain for weeks and weeks.

Serious record breaking cold and snow in November/Early December.

Spring arriving in January.

Some tree's/flowers appearing/wilting way too early.

Birds flocking out of season.

Can we expect to see the likes of June/July/August turn more autumnal?

From memory this happened last year as well?...

La Nina maybe?

Whatever the cause, something is not right here. If this summer proves another washout/cool then that is enough evidence for me that there are serious issues with our climate....

Ive said this for 2 years now mate. Obviously i keep a keen eye on the weather and can certainly appreciate the good days etc... but this is certainly the cause! Its been lush this week and more of the same is expected for the next 4-5 days!

Back in 1992, I remember being very heavily pregnant with my son and having to endure an April and early May of scorching temperatures - most awkward and unpleasant. It's unusual for Spring to be quite as wonderful as this one seems to be, but I am certainly not complaining - these are perfect temperatures and humidity levels for me whereas a hot Summer I find unbearable.

Maybe everything is just moving forward a bit....look at all that snow we had last November.
