While there are cyclic climate phenomena, such as the North Atlantic Oscillation, that are associated with more- or less-severe-than-normal winters in parts of the northern hemisphere, there doesn’t necessarily have to be anything “behind” an unusually warm or cold month or season. The weather is a chaotic system with a lot of variability, and it can exhibit seemingly “out-of-the ordinary” behavior, especially over the short-term, that is not linked to any specific climate phenomenon.
