Florida Easter and spring extremes: Heat, flooding, and a restless spring

Easter time and leading into April can land in one of the most unpredictable stretches of Spring. Some years bring near-summer heat, others deliver soaking rain, and recent Aprils have shown just how extreme that transition season can become.

Spring in Florida rarely unfolds in a straight line. Around Easter, it can feel like summer, look like the dry season, or turn suddenly stormy.

And in recent years, that transition has looked even sharper — a season arriving early, and sometimes all at once.
