Monday was a day of more showers so it was another inside sort of a day.

Like most gardeners I've seen the forecast suggesting the possibility of the coldest May in 100 years. Whilst I'm hoping that the forecast is completely wrong I thought it might be interesting to plot this year’s May temperatures against those of the actual coldest May in the last 100 years.
To my surprise I reckon that all we have to be is colder than May 1996, which had an average temperature of 9.15°C, so if we have the coldest May in 16 years we will also have the coldest in the last 100 years too. May 1996 was the 9th coldest since 1772 as far as I can tell from the records. Then again like the forecast I could be wrong.

The allotment looks really pretty with blossom on the fruit trees and wallflowers blooming. I should pretty mine up a bit. I'm really hoping that the May forecast is wrong, I'm looking forward to some warmer weather.
ReplyDeleteI do so hope that your wrong, we have had a right mixed bag of weather this year so far, would be nice for things to start warming up.
