Well, just for the record, one of the days at the recent Test Match at Headingly was the coldest ever recorded at 7.2oC :-X .... and Scotland beat Lancashire at Old Trafford! ;D May has been Baltic! Even when the sun does shine it is still too cold to sit outside. :(

Likewise, one of the days at the end of last week was the coldest May day ever recorded here in Ireland

Emigrate to down here lads--You'd needn't worry about your soggy hat Mr Nicholson with rainfall for this month about 50% below average and May the warmest since records began. 8)

Lesleys area has been receiving 18 c highs with us a bit lower south ,reaching 16c today--been more like spring weather than autumn for weeks now---too much for me to be landscaping in overalls---almost tempted to go back to shorts/teashirt. :o

With only 3 weeks to the shortest day am i tempting fate in thinking winter is going to give us a miss this year. :-\

Cheers Dave.

after a few weeks with no rain it is here and very welcome. Rain has been falling for about 12 hours now enough to half fill my wheel barrow with water for my half barrel water feature

Saturday was glorious with temperatures around 20oC. It was our primary school funda raising picnic and I'd borrowed a few animals for a 'Zoo', charging 50p entrance. Raised £169 just on the zoo.

Today my classroom is 28oC. Thank goodness it's hometime. Small matter of 180 exam papers still to mark!

Further to that: 3.40 p.m. and temeprature has reached 30oC ???.

Brisk morning here. Still snow on the ground with a frost of -2C. Enjoy that 34 while  you have it.
