Can it be warm now please?

You have to go back to the 1950s to find another April with average temperatures as low as this one so far in our area.

Today I went on a birding trip to eastern Washington. On two previous occasions, I have birded those same areas at the same time of year with temperatures over 70 F/21C. Today we managed a high of 56F/13C.

I would like it to be spring, preferably before May.

That and we had a long stretch in there with single digit humidity. And wind, but we always have wind. All told, a bad combination for fires. My area has been fine so far, but we've been under a fire watch pretty much daily for the past few weeks.
