How many times can weather history be made in one month? I already reported on the six ways the April 2011 tornadoes broke records. Portions of Texas are still burning, while the residents along the floodplains of the Mississippi river are waiting for the flood waters to inevitably inundate their homes. The floods were caused by extreme amounts of snow in 2011, sudden melting, and the 10th wettest April on record.
Now, the National Climatic Data Center reports April 2011 was indeed an historic weather month. In a State of the Climate: April 2011 report, a minimum of 25 climate extremes.
