A friend of mine - Brian Schmit, put together the following research:
__________________________________________________
Period of record for Portland (PDX), 1949 - 2011
Least number of days above 60 degrees for any year before April 30th
1. 2011 / 5 days as of April 25th
2. 1955 / 9 days
3. 1975 / 10 days
4. 1967 / 11 days
5. 1950 / 13 days
6. 2008 / 15 days
______________________________
If the forecast holds true through this Saturday (April 30th), 2011 will have 6 days above 60 degrees through the month of April. The least of any year since records began at PDX!
Anyone surprised?
