May 2010
An unsettled start to the month, with some rain around, possibly heavy, broken up with some drier and brighter spells of weather. The rain will continue to feature into the second week, and there is a chance that there may even be a slight cause for concern with flooding, but the confidence on this isn't high. Temperatures will be on or above the average, so at least it will feel pleasantly mild for the first part of May.
By mid-month, the Atlantic influence begins to wane, and the weather shows signs of breaking into a stable pattern of weather, with some dry and sunny Spring days. Temperatures will be on the warm side, so a pleasant period through the middle part of May.
Whilst there is the potential for some rain for the final third of May, and indeed some extended periods of rain, the month will generally I believe end on a warm note, with some pleasant sunshine. I expect this settled weather to see us into June as well, and whereas it won't be all plain sailing, with the prospect of a continuous run of fine weather, it will, for the majority of the time, be a settled late Spring/early Summer.
Temperatures for the month will reflect average to above average values.
