There is an 'international kite festival' on Weymouth meach on the Mayday

precipitation....


I've noticed that the May Day weekend tends to generally produce good
weather. I can't remember the last time May Day came in a changeable
period. On the other hand, the late May holiday seems to have a much
poorer record: there always seems to be a short changeable spell in
late May/early June which marks the boundary between spring and summer.
