April and May traditionally become the official “flood months” in many regions. Spring floods are primarily associated with the build-up of snowpack, and it is inevitable as soon as the first warm sun rays hit the Earth.

However, this year weather experts warn that snowpack might not be the leading risk factor for Spring floods.

While March temperatures remained even slightly below average, April brings significant warming. This dramatic temperature change can become an ultimate challenge for smaller creeks and lower elevation areas.

So you don’t have to live anywhere around big water to experience the absolute power of spring floods in 2021.

However, by the beginning of May, temperatures may go down a little bit, postponing the snowcap melts and massive rainfalls. However, it will be kind of deceptive calm. Such changing temperatures usually lead to more extensive snow, ice build-up, and moisture accumulation in the upper air.
