It was cold last week.
The Met Office may insist that May’s temperatures are average for the time of year, but it certainly did not feel like it. Records from the weather station in our garden paint a rather different picture. The average temperature for the first half of May this year has been just 10.1°C, whereas our records over the last sixteen years show an average of 11.5°C for the same period. In fact, according to our figures, so far this is the fourth coldest start to May in the last sixteen years.
Along with the chilly conditions came rain, hail and even thunderstorms. It was hard to believe that this was late spring with summer supposedly just around the corner.
Between the light showers and persistent drizzle, we managed to dodge the worst of the weather while gardening, working at the allotment and taking Ruby for her walks.
Although the weather has been disappointing and progress outdoors has been frustratingly slow, there was at least plenty of excitement at Nostell.
