In Southampton it's actually been quite good up till Wednesday: despite
cold temperatures, it's been bright. However right now it's more like
November, and we seem to be heading for a very un-May-like spell of
weather with November drizzle and gloom till Tuesday, then August-like
humidity. Late May always seems to be a bit dubious: I think there's a
good case for moving the late May bank holiday, such is the frequency
of a 10-day or so spell of unseasonable weather.
