“Never cast a clout until May is out” goes the old saying. Probably good advice as May starts with a fine sunny spell. April ended locally with 27.1mm of rainfall on 15 days. This was a very small amount of rainfall even though 2007 had only 18.2mm of rainfall.

This amount fell on only 5 days so April 2008 certainly had plenty of showers. We all remember what happened to the summer of 2007, after a very bright beginning in April. We even had an official drought. No fear of that last month so maybe the summer will be different as well. We certainly hope so.
