primaveral means relating to or characteristic of early spring.
Why “primaveral” is a great word
Relating to or characteristic of early spring. From Spanish primavera or Italian primavera, both meaning "springtime," ultimately from Latin prima vera ("first spring"), combined with the English adjectival suffix -al. Unlike "vernal," which encompasses the whole season's maturity, or "springlike," a mere resemblance possible in any month, primaveral denotes a fleeting, specific temporal truth. It is the sharp, chlorophyll scent of crushed snowdrops breaching frozen soil, the tentative pencil-strokes of willow catkins, and the particular, fragile warmth of a sun that has not yet learned to burn. A word for beginnings so tender they might still be frost.
Etymology
Probably from Spanish primavera (“springtime”) or Italian primavera (“springtime”), ultimately from Latin prima vera, + -al.
