Vermont's
April is a month of evident transformation, where the blossoming signs of spring become more pronounced. However, the weather in this month remains variable, reflecting a tug-of-war between lingering winter conditions and the burgeoning warmth of spring.
In April, temperatures in Vermont exhibit a clearer rise. Nighttime lows hover between 30°F (-1.1°C) to 40°F (4.4°C), while daytime temperatures frequently climb into the 50s°F. Such temperatures signal the waning influence of winter, allowing for more outdoor activities without the heavy winter gear.
Despite the increase in temperatures, snowfall hasn't entirely departed from the Vermont scene, especially in the early parts of April and in higher altitudes like the Green Mountains. However, these snow events are typically short-lived and less intense than those of the winter months.
One notable characteristic of Vermont's April is the mud season. As the accumulated snow melts, aided by the increasing rain events, the ground, especially on unpaved roads and trails, can become particularly muddy. This muddy period is a testament to the thawing earth and the increased precipitation in the form of rain.
Compared to
March, April sees even longer daylight hours, with the sun gracing Vermont for a more extended period, which further aids in the gradual warming of the state. This increase in sunshine plays a role in the blooming of early spring flowers and the resurgence of greenery.
By the end of April, while higher elevations like the Green Mountains might still have patches of snow, most of Vermont, particularly areas such as the Connecticut River Valley, is donning a spring attire, with budding trees and the chirping of returning migratory birds.
