April in Truro...
This month we pick up 88 minutes of additional daylight, enough to bring temperatures up about 9 degrees from March.
According to past records, we can expect an average temperature to 45°F, with average lows of 37°F and highs of 52°F. We traditionally get an average total of 3 inches of rain and only 1 inch of snow. It's early spring, and the above-freezing temperatures and rain will melt any snow piles and thaw the frozen ground.
Below are some of the activities and events happening about town this month.
