Overall, average daily highs have increased by about 0.5 degrees since 2010. Since 2000, it's been about 0.7 degrees warmer. In 2000, the median daily high was 12.6 degrees vs. 13.3 today.
Overall, you can see a clear trend where temperature growth is most stark in the fall. Summer is increasingly stretching further into September now, which has seen a median daily high temperutare increase by +1.3 degrees in the last 20 years.
Comparatively, the spring weather is warming much slower. May has barely seen any changes, with temperatures increasing by just 0.3 degrees.

Charts confirm the perception. Winter seems to be getting delayed, not really starting until after Christmas. On the flip side, spring feels delayed also, although the chart still shows it has warmed up slightly. We have had a lot of God awful starts to spring lately. Honestly I'd rather take a cold snowy December and the increased anomalies during early spring. That said, I wouldn't want to lose the warmer September/October
. Just give me winter in December and everything else can be warmer.
