The author compares Spring with a janitress (a female janitor). It is often the responsibility of a janitor to operate heating in a building, to regulate the temperature of the radiators. Spring in your sentence did the same: as spring set in the weather became nicer, days became warmer, as if a janitor turned the heating system up a little.
