US had warmest March-May on record, and broke it by a huge margin...

USA had warmest March-May on record 07 Jun 2012 The surreal heat that enveloped much of the USA this spring turned out to be a record breaker: Federal scientists announced today that the spring was the warmest ever recorded in U.S. history. Climatologists define spring as the months of March, April and May; weather records go back to 1895. The amount by which the spring broke the record was also phenomenal: Spring 2012 marked the largest temperature departure from average of any season on record in the USA, the National Climatic Data Center reported. In addition, the center also announced that the USA is seeing its warmest start to the year since records began.
