The variability of the onset of spring in Britain
Abstract The first day of spring is defined in terms of daily maximum temperatures. Spring at Oxford as defined begins some time between the third week of February and the last week of April. The average date shows a secular change over the last hundred years. The date of the first day of spring is...
