This will be remembered as a truly historic month in Northern Europe, also above average in eastern North America and eastern Siberia as the cold March was long gone. For Sweden, Norway and Finland, all sorts of records have been broken. I'd assume Baltic States and European Russia were similar. More than 400 hours of sunshine and about 22°C avg highs in Nyköping for example, that was just unthinkable to achieve in May, I didn't even think it was a realistic heat wave. The reversed pattern and cool and wet weather in Southern Europe also made this an extra odd month.
So, looking forward to the final stats coming in, this is going to be the most exciting monthly summary yet in this forum's existence!

This won't just be the most interesting monthly summary since the forum's conception (for us Swedes), but it will be the most interesting summary for decades to come.

Oberon, NSW (1,053 m AMSL; 33° 40' 5.52" S). Keep in mind that this particular station is ~200 m lower than my farm at Black Springs (1,228 m AMSL; 33° 51' 38.67" S), but extremely warm nonetheless:  |

No month is ever truly the same.  |

No month is ever truly the same. Why are you doing the summary before the month is over? |

It's hardly going to look much different a day from here

It's hardly going to look much different a day from here That's like the epitome of poor patience. Sunshine could have over a dozen extra hours, there could be centimeters of rain, and the temp could differ by multiple decimals. You've waited 30 days. What's one more? |

It's been an incredible month here, with an average max some 3 degrees above the 1981-2010 average, and most likely a record number. Sunshine has been almost 100 hours above average. It's very unusual to see over 200 hours in a month but we have beaten 260 this month.

Just to mark the sheer intensity of this May, Norrköping's avg high for May for 2002-18 will rise from last year's 16.9°C to 17.2°C this year...  This is during the second half a of a 30-year period as well and Norrköping's not even been the epicentre. Uppsala and Målilla will see insane rises. |

This is during the second half a of a 30-year period as well and Norrköping's not even been the epicentre. Uppsala and Målilla will see insane rises. Målilla hasn't nearly been the epicenter. Uppsala's highs are higher than Målilla this year, but Målilla's average is higher. The west coast has been the epicenter, like Gothenburg. |

Hasn't Gothenburg been more like mean-heavy rather than high-heavy?

Moscow will have a mean of "only" 3C above average, so they missed on the prolonged heat. Viipuri will not beat their record from 1897.

hottest May on recorded for the USA. Didn't stand out that much here; Amherst was 5.0°F which made it one of the warmer recent Mays but not the warmest; 2012 and 2015 were about 1°F warmer. I was away for a lot of the warmest parts here. But Massachusetts is merely red; some of the middle of the country got much hotter.
