A tiny two-line weather saying linking blustery March to the flowers of May. Short enough to say in one breath and easy for a toddler to pick up.

From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.

March winds and April showers
Bring forth May flowers.

About this rhyme

Two lines of plain weather lore: rough spring winds and rain are what bring May flowers. Short enough to say while looking out at a blustery sky, and easy for a child to say back next time it rains.
