Overall for May, I make the average 11.15C (1961 - 1990) but for 1st to 16th May an average of 10.62 C, and for the remainder 11.72C.
Going back to 1772 (1772 - 1990) the figures are 11.24, 1st to 16th 10.44C and remainder 12.1C.
So it really is a very warm May so far at 14.28C to the 16th
. But who here remembers the balmy May of 1833, the temperature was an extraordinary 15.15C average to the 16th, and dipped very slightly late May to 15.1C.

Scorcher I ranked each year for sunshine, temperature and rainfall and 2003 came out on top according to my simple addition (Rank sunshine, Rank Temperature, Reverse Rank rainfall) formula. Interestingly 1976 only came out 15th. (Data 1931 -> 2023)
The most miserable year was 1954 it seems.
Incidentally where's the HADCET for the 14th and 15th of this month

13.8C and 65 mm please

England, Wales HADCET data:
I make it the wettest first 4 months of the year since records began (Beating the previous wettest of 2014)&
Despite the recent cool(ish) snap the second warmest since records began, only 2007 ahead at this point.
Running average 12 month temp I have at 11.32C and 1319.73 mm of rainfall which although both are historically high aren't record breaking.
We need *chortle* 80 mm of rainfall in May (Possible I guess) and an unlikely 17.2C average to break through the running highs respectively.

Completely grim here in North Notts. Featureless grey sky, waterlogged garden...

I've had a better look at the daily data and my previous claim of breaching 8C average so far was mince. Aside from some years that started off warm and then went to more normal January temperatures, the soonest YTD av of 8 remains 3rd of May, 1990 and 2007 having exceptionally warm starts to the year. As of today it is the warmest ytd so far though..

Apologies, 2007 started off over 8 C in January, so my err "record" isn't right
-
CryoraptorA303 YTD Temp in 1879 went below 8 C on 2nd December 1879.
I'd be staggered if this year dropped below 8C at all now. No year since 1879 has been below 8. -
Above 8 Celsius average now btw (For the year) - the earliest this has ever been achieved.
-
I do believe we have a temperature record (Of sorts). Earliest in the year an average of 8 Celsius has been attained, since they started recording in 1772. (HADCET mean data)
In 1879, this wasn't breached till the 6th September

Hi All,
I've had a look at this and played around with a Google sheet from the England, Wales rainfall data.
It's been very wet over the start of the year (3rd wettest since records started in 1766 (2014 was the wettest start to the year) and after March we're currently ranking 5th of 1108 consecutive 12 month periods since daily records in 1931).
Here's my work:

We've got the barest smidgen of sun here at the office in Sheffield, and the solar battery has charged up back in my Bassetlaw village. So not the worst day here in South Yorks/top of the East Mids..
