Spring weather forecast in Louisville, KY for 2022

img_2474-1

Rejoice, Louisvillians — the spring equinox has arrived, and with that, the promise of warmer days, blossoming landscapes, and yes (takes deep sigh) pollen. Personally, we think the weather is an underrated conversation topic, so we peeked at some of the major weather trends headed our way over the next few months.

Here’s what you can expect this spring in LOU and beyond based on predictions from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center.

🌡️ Temperature

Think warm. Expect to see warmer-than-normal temperatures across much of the United States, with the exception of the Pacific Northwest, California coast + upper Midwest, where temperatures are expected to be slightly cooler through at least April. In Louisville, there’s a 40-50% chance of temps being hotter than usual. Usually, Derby City averages highs of 70° in April, 78° in May, and 86° in June.

We might get our first feel of these warmer-than-normal temps this Wednesday with a very possible 80° day.

🌨️ Precipitation

This spring we’re expected to have equal chances of above, below, or near normal chances of precipitation. The chance of a wet day — one with at least 0.04 inches of precipitation — over the course of spring is rapidly increasing, starting the season at 27% and ending at 39%. The average amount of rainfall per month from March to June is 4.38 inches.

As we prepare for rainy days we want to know your tips and tricks for curing rainy day blues. We love to visit the Louisville Tea Company to sample its 150+ loose leaf teas. Tell us your suggestions here.
