April Climate 05/08/15 Pam Knox
April 2015 was much warmer and wetter statewide than is usual for the month.

While statewide statistics will not be available until later this month, this April is expected to be one of the warmest Aprils on record for Georgia, coming close to the record of 67.9 degrees Fahrenheit set in 2002.
