ReplyDeleteNote: "At the spring equinox or the first day of spring, days are close to 12 hours long with day length increasing as the season progresses.... Unstable weather may more often occur during spring, when warm air begins on occasions to invade from lower latitudes, while cold air is still pushing on occasions from the Polar regions. Flooding is also most common in and near mountainous areas during this time of year because of snowmelt, accelerated by warm rains. "
