We rarely have a proper spring any more since quite some years, and it's not unusual for temperatures suddenly rising from still-winter to nearly-summer within a week. We've had years where the highest temperatures already happened mid-May. I hate it, for while I manage to adapt eventually to hotter temperatures (though not necessarily well), the first one or two weeks is always rather uncomfortable when it's getting over 20°C outside. Still, if it kept at that for all of summer I'd count myself lucky, for summers became so much hotter in the last years as well. Last summer was pure bliss - we managed to escape the worst of the heat while traveling through Lapland and Finmark. *g*
