When you live down South, there is nothing you look forward to more than springtime. Here in Alabama, spring is a beautiful time of the year. Many days, the weather is gorgeous with bright sunshine and temperatures that are comfortable enough to really get out and enjoy.

However, there are things that you must watch out for, weather-wise. Alabama springtime usually offers quite a bit of rain. Farmers need the rain for the crops to grow, and we all like to keep everything fresh and beautiful. But, sometimes the rain can turn dangerous. Alabama offers the perfect opportunity for Tornadoes to occur. Tornados can be extremely dangerous, so if the weather looks bad outside you should certainly tune in to you radio or television to make sure you take any precautions that are necessary.

Another concern in spring are the fluctuating temperatures. It is not unheard of to have temperatures reach the mid 80′s one day and then dip down to the 30′s the next. Keep an eye on your plants to keep them from dying or wilting and especially watch your animals to assure they are well taken care of and don’t become uncomfortable when exposed to the temperature swings .
