It is true according to the British weather office, the Met, that all our seasons are getting warmer. So this spring is perhaps a degree warmer than in 1970. This affects when the flowers start to bloom and the crops to flourish. Little creatures like the beautiful ladybird emerge, perhaps too early, because it could get very cold again.
March in Britain is a month between winter and spring - spring begins at the end of the month. Sometimes there are bright, sunny days and you feel that spring has arrived already. But then there can be a frost or a cold winter, and instead you decide that winter is very long!
If you have delicate plants outside in the garden, it is a good idea to keep them protected still from the frost.
Traditionally at this time of year, people in the past could run out of food in February and March to wait for warmer weather - the excitement of the winter festival had passed, winter stores were low, while the crops had not yet grown and the animals were still young.
Here is an interesting saying about March:
In like a lion and out like a lamb: this means that the weather at the beginning of the month can be fierce, just like the lion, the king of the beasts. But by the end of the month, the weather should be calm and gentle, ready for spring, like the soft lamb.
