What a strange April it has been! Even the weather was unsettled. Some areas, particularly in the northern part of the region, were cooler than normal, while other areas like South Florida baked in hot, dry conditions. Rainfall was quite variable, with some areas receiving much more than normal while others missed out on most rain altogether, leading to increasing drought in the Florida Peninsula. Some areas of the Florida panhandle had the odd conjunction of flooding rivers (from the rain upstream) in the middle of a drought. What will May bring? I will post the latest updates tomorrow.
