What has been evident this May is how cool Spain and other parts of the Med
have been

Yes, apart from some brief warm spells, temperatures for most of May have been below
(often well below) normal across the whole of Spain.
With a persisting northerly airflow, we seem to be getting our weather from the UK!

It will be interesting to see how the figures for the whole month turn out - I suspect
it will be one of the coldest Mays of recent times.
