If we speak of an average of the last 23 cycles in the months of the minimum, our only significant energy source at the center of the solar system was below average active last month as well.
The sunspot number (SSN) was 9.1, which was thus only 42% of the average of the cycles for month no. 125. Some cycles (No. 21, 18, 16, 15, 8 ) were already completed in month no. 125.

Our spring here in Iowa has been ridiculously cold. We get a couple of days in the 70's, then it's right back to upper 50's/low 60's for up to a week at a time.
We should be creeping up into the 80's right now.
