The start of June hasn’t changed the weather and the first day of the month was cool and windy with a few showers throughout the day.
Our rose White Cloud has produced its first flower of the season tucked away in a sheltered spot in the back border.
I’m glad to see the back of May weatherwise as it’s been a very disappointing month. Based on my records over the last five years it’s turned out to be the windiest and by a few hours the dullest. It’s avoided the reputation as the coldest May by the enormous margin of 0.1°C with the average temperature coming in at 11.3°C (52.3°F), the coldest May that I have recorded being 2013 at 11.2°C (52.2°F). For good measure it’s turned out to be the second wettest too so you can see it hadn’t too much going for it. The appropriate tables are shown below.

Such a pretty rose! The weather nowadays is very unpredictable!
ReplyDeleteOur weather is rather predictable at the moment Malar. It's cool and windy most of the time. It's supposed to be improving by the end of the week!
DeleteI hope your lovely rose still has some petals left - it's been a wet and wild 24 hours here, probably brought on by us putting up a netting brassica cage yesterday (hope it's still on the plot) ! Interesting that on your charts the wind speed really stands out for May this year.
ReplyDeleteWet and windy here too. Our rose is in a very sheltered spot and has survived the gales. June might stand out too if it continues like this!
DeleteHope your brassica cage survives.
