The Damage is Done

Friday wasn't as good as the weather forecast had indicated and during the afternoon we had a sort of misting of rain for most of the afternoon. It was enough to wet the ground but not enough to register on my rain gauge.
The perennials have enjoyed the cool wet weather and our tulips have been on flower for ages. They might even last into June. However, the cold temperatures have delayed the sowing of more tender vegetables and I only just got round to sowing our runner beans and climbing French beans on Friday.

As the weather wasn't that good I decided to get my May temperature and rainfall comparison charts from 2010 - 2021 ready. They don't make good reading. The charts are correct up to the 27th of the month.

Temperature & Rainfall Comparisons for May 2010-2021 {updated to 27/5/2021}

The warmest day of meteorological spring this year has been 30th March when the temperature reached 23.5° or 74.3°F. It will be interesting to see if that is beaten in the last few days of May with the forecast for more normal temperatures to end the month.
