It was a full 2 degrees above average this Spring, making it the warmest since 1998. The warmth was pretty consistent with only a week of colder temperatures in May and a few in June that were significantly below average.
Although we got around 25 mm more than the average precipitation for the season, this is still within the average range (albeit on the high side). It was also a feast or famine situation with the precipitation, as for most of it we would go a week or two without anything and then have a few very wet days in a row.
Summary for Spring 2010:
Maximum Temperature 31.3 °C
Minimum Temperature -7.1 °C
Average Daily High Temperature 17.9 °C (Long term average 15.9 °C)
Average Daily Low Temperature 6.2 °C (Long term average 4.4 °C)
Total Precipitation 243.5 mm (Long term average 219.5 mm)
(Long term averages based on 1971-2000 data for the Waterloo Wellington Airport)

So we had more precipitation than average during the Spring? How? Weren't March, April, and May all below average?
Yes March, April and May were below average but then we got hit by the first 20 days of June which were quite wet, enough to put the season on the high end of the average range.
As well although March overall was below average, there was a very large storm in the last week that counts towards spring.
