Actual temps in Europe. Here in Altea we have 16.4°C now. All of the windows are opened and outside smells just to flowers.

It's still been cloudier than average so it's been a pretty non event month. Two weeks from now we recorded a tad shy of 30C in the past, it would only be crazy if we were getting 25C+ temperatures now.

If it were 10F below average you would be saying it was crazy.

10F below average for today would equate to about 7-8c. 1 day of 7 or 8c in March is not crazy, seeing as the coldest March day is usually around 6-7c.

Strangely about 1°C warmer at Orly airport than in Paris-Montsouris at midnight.
