An uninspiring month with average temperatures, below average sunshine
and above average rainfall.
It wasn't as wet here as it was at Dyce because on many days when the
sky looked black to the north there was little rain here (most notably
on the 20th when there was 10 hours of sun here and only 0.8mm of
rain, Dyce had 9mm and only 4 hours sun). 42.2mm of rain fell in
40hrs over the 29th/30th.

On a par with spring 1938 as the warmest spring on record, locally.
Sunshine well above average and rainfall well below (despite the wet
end to May). Mean temperature was almost 2.4C above that of spring
2006.

Mean temperature for the past 12 months has been 9.78C.
