And a little ex past facto, but the NCDC state data just came back online.

 

January-March 2014 is tied for the 3rd coldest on record for the state of Indiana.

 

1) 21.7º in 1978

2) 22.3º in 1912

3) 25.2º in 2014

3) 25.2º in 1979

5) 25.3º in 1895

6) 26.5º in 1940

7) 27.0º in 1904

8) 27.2º in 1899

9) 27.3º in 1963

10) 27.4º in 1970

 

Longterm mean average temperature: 31.9º

 

Period of record: 1895-2014

 

Individual monthly rankings

January 2014: 10th coldest

February 2014: 13th coldest

March 2014: 13th coldest

 

As you can see on the chart below, a rather big two year drop from the record warmest Jan-Mar 2012 (40.9º). In fact, 15.7º is the difference between the two years.

Looking likely that May is going to average above normal for Indianapolis, despite the cool start. So, what does a warm May mean for Summer?

 

35 of the following Summers were warmer than normal.

42 of the following Summers were "warm normal" or warmer than normal.

17 of the following Summers were cooler than normal.

25 of the following Summers were "cool normal" or cooler than normal.

 

 

Looking at the cool Mays, the opposite holds true.

 

16 of the following Summers were warmer than normal.

22 of the following Summers were "warm normal" or warmer than normal.

3 of the following Summers were exactly normal.

38 of the following Summers were cooler than normal.

42 of the following Summers were "cool normal" or cooler than normal.

 

 

The case of the seven near normal Mays: 4 of the Summers were warmer than normal...and 3 were cooler than normal.
