A Rapid Transition To Summer Weather

Unlike April, when the advance of the springtime warmth was uncertain, uneven and for many of us too slow, in May the rapidly lengthening days and increasingly strong spring sun makes the arrival of spring for all inevitable.

With the exception of the mountains, the snow and ice vanishes from most all of North America. The ice disappears even in the most resisting lakes and ponds in Canada and Alaska by mid-May. With the disappearance of the ice and snow in northern continental areas, the factory of cold polar high pressure systems for the most part shuts down. The chilly waters of Hudson Bay, James Bay and the Great Lakes can still cause relative high pressure to form but these air masses tend to be small and cool instead of cold.
