Despite the high temperatures at the top of the month, the current mean
temperature this May is 11.1C which is (so far) 0.5degC below the local
1971-2000 mean and on Saturday the maximum temperature was only 11.6C, so
it's not all sun and hot temperatures

shaping up?" section on Philip Eden's website:
