Spring has ended and the preliminary statistics show that for many areas in the Southeast, temperatures were much above normal, placing them in the top ten warmest on record. A number of stations were also in the top ten driest on record, particularly in the areas that are now experiencing drought. A few coastal stations also experienced their top ten wettest on record.
