Movement and weather
Each season it is first heard regularly where daytime highs are around 22°C (typically 16 to 26°C, from 17 areas). That range is wide, so temperature alone does not explain when it turns up.
Arrival dates
The week it was first heard regularly in each region, after at least six weeks away. Dates differ from south to north, so a region has a range.
| Region | First arrival | Last arrival | Typical peak | Areas |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| North America | 2 February 2026 | 25 May 2026 | 1 June 2026 | 17 |
