A pretty horrible start to the last third of May. I hope it doesn't set the pattern for the coming summer.


Probably not the best time to book a short break in the UK.


Typical, I've been waiting 2 months for a forecast so I can book a break and now it doesn't look good.


Don't panic David, depends where your going (to state the obvious!) but I'll be off near Polzeath for 4 days from 19th. Assuming the forecasts are right 10 days out (and that would be a miracle) slack slow moving low pressure here often gives the best weather in April/May. Unstable convective air means coastal sunshine, good visibility, no sea mist, not too much wind but a good chance of a swell. (What I don't want is a strong onshore NW or high pressure to the east and a stiff chilly, cloudy SE, when it's 24C in London!)

Today was better than forecast, no showers here, windy & fairly sunny.
