If you compare it to Western Europe or the Pacific Northwest, it seems "cold", but warm weather lasts a later into the fall and begins earlier in the spring, days are longer, sun is stronger, etc, there's no damp chill, and overall the season feels much shorter.

It's not Siberia or Nunavut, but it is cold. By your logic, where I live is tropical

More like by your logic, nothing in what he said hinted at that. I think he is right, Warszawa is far too over dramatic. Winter in april? Seriously? Lmao. Yeah right.

April is still pretty bad in cold years, I remember on April 1st of 2001 driving to school in a blizzard, does that sound like Spring weather to you?

In 2015 it snowed at the very end of April and also we had a 33f high on like April 24. Definitely not spring. We also got the strongest snowstorm of the season in Upstate NY in the first week of April. We were like way below our average snowfall going into the end of March and then made up most of that ground in ****ing April

Obviously there are periods of cold and snow in April, especially in early April, but it isn't a full blown winter month. It's a transition to spring. Just because the calendar flips to another month doesn't mean the weather will too.

There are years when it is in the 50s and 60s in early April. April 2010 was in the 70s.

April is a very confused month. True spring doesnt really start until May, and sometimes winterlike weather can continue until even early May, as we say this year

A place that has a true spring is Valparaiso. Here in spring it's like 15-20 degrees everyday, it feels much more springlike. Buenos Aires, Santiago, Concepcion, Montevideo all have actual springs

What got you down to Chile anyways, are you going to school as a foreign exchange student???

And back on topic, I love Spring here, going by my dates (Mar 11-May 31st) our normal highs range from 25.0°C to 37.2°C and normal lows go from 11.7°C to 23.3°C, and it's the dry season so lots of sun and next to no rain; much better than Rochester, where on those dates, the normal high goes from 5.0°C to 21.7°C and the normal low goes from -3.3°C to 9.4°C
