After quite a dry May which could be the driest in some areas since 1991 we now head into June which promises a mix of warm and cold spells at present. The warmth seems to be signalled to the end and the cool weather will be more especially at the start. Precipitation amounts are quite uncertain as yet but it does look as though the Atlantic influence will return for a time unlike in May when we had an unusual ly quiet atlantic.
People looking for heatwaves like the couple of really hot days we got in May (26c was recorded in Mount Dillon in Roscommon and near 30c was recorded in the Southeast of England) may be quite disappointed. Apart from a few warm days here and there it does not look like a prolonged warm spell will occur for at least the first half of the month. Again we would hope the second half brings about a better spell of weather.
So to finish..May will for certain record below average rainfall, above average sunshine and temperatures slightly above the seasonal average. Not a bad start to the Summer season at all.
