Currently, cold and strong winds out of the north keeping daytime temps below average for this time of year.

Also saw that folks to the north and east of my area are getting snow today, when just yesterday, their weather was warm and sunny.

I was just talking to a person today about that late spring snowstorm they're having and their reply to me was that "global warming has upset the balance of things!" - nope, sorry. Nature does whatever it wants and as proof, my Grandfather was born on this day (20 May) in 1899, during one of the worst blizzards in Montana history.

Pretty sure 1899 was before "global warming"
 
Early last month the Bureau of Met predicted we might get up to ten times our average May rain in the following week. Two days later we got 130mm in one day. I am still trying to find out what our average is as I lost my records for 2018 and earlier and the "official" average rainfall for us as measured 60km away at an airport that is only 7km from the coast is 51.7mm. My records for the last three Mays are 2019 7.9, 2020 7.3, 2021 7.8. This May we got 305mm and a friend 15km further inland got 358mm. The official record for rain for our area for May is 382mm in 1983 and officially we got 223.4 this year.

So far this June we have 33.7 compared to last years 32.5 for the whole month.

Being an agricultural area with most people depending on rainwater for the house there are very few complaints - except for having to mow lawns. That usually ends in late April or early May.
