since 2014. There were five days with 90-degree weather, which was
the least amount since 2017. There were four days with freezing
temperatures, which was the fewest since 2017. The first 90-degree
day occurred on May 24th, which was the latest in two years.

.Rainfall...
It was the wetttest Spring since 2016, and the 10th wettest Spring
on record. There were 36 days with measurable rainfall, which was
the most since 2015.

The only snow that fell was a trace on March 3rd. This marks the
second year that only a trace of snow was noted during the Spring,
and the fourth consecutive year with no measurable Spring snowfall.
