| We have been having a mix of warm and cold days so far this spring and spring gardening is likely getting on many of your minds as we are now getting into late April and the days are warming up. Just remember, temperatures can still easily drop below freezing through April and in some cases, even May or June. The table is showing the average last 28 and 32 degree days and the latest hard freeze and frost dates on record for select locations. These locations were chosen as there is at least 30 years of climatological data at each site. If you live in outlying valleys near larger urban areas, the average dates can easily be at least a week later, if not more, than what the table indicates. Our office will begin to issue freeze warnings beginning May 15 through early fall when minimum temperatures of 30 degrees or lower are expected over a large portion of an urban or agriculturally sensitive area. Until then, it is best to pay attention to the local forecast by choosing your location on the point and click map at weather.gov/Reno. Keep in mind that forecast low temperatures are for approximately 6 feet off the ground and temperatures at ground level can be colder than the forecast. |
