It's been so nice to have a relatively windless day for once. Spring is the windiest time of the year here and the last few days have been rather ridiculous. Unfortunately the wind will be back soon, but hey at least we got one good day without it.
Also looks like we might tie our warmest day of the year so far, with 28C in the forecast for Sunday. All other days in the forecast are above 20C as well, so that's pretty great.

Today reached 81 (27 c) before it turned rainy and cooler. A decent thunderstorm came through for about half an hour and there were some nice downpours.
So far, 0.77β (19 mm) has fallen, almost as much as the rest of the month. At one point we had 0.35β in 3 minutes, a rain rate of close to 4β/hour!
The dew point was as high as 71 (22 c), the warmest since October 1st.
It looks like summer now, everything is very green and lush as it should be this time of year. The lilacs are in full bloom now and thereβs some other flowering trees still but the spring bloom is mostly over and most flowering plants have turned green.

First 23 days of May were quite dry, with only a short lived cold and wet spell between the 4th-7th with 35.2mm at Jandakot and 32.2mm at Perth Metro. Looked like it would be a drier than average May, about half the rainfall. ... But no then the 24th-29th happened. Perth Metro: 77.8mm fell over the 6 days Jandakot: 84.0mm fell over the 6 days Here's Jandakot:  Other noticeable 6 day totals Bickley: 121.4mm Airport: 69.2mm It's gone from a sunny, dry and average May to a fairly average sun, wet and still average May within 6 days. |

Tomorrow is looking likely for thunderstorms here. But, a huge squall line is forecast to hit the southern interior. They're gonna get walloped. Just found this...CAPE values up to 7000 J/kg tomorrow in the mountains east of Vernon. That is insane even just to see it on one of these maps.  |

I was in Eifel Mountains yesterday and some oaks at about 600 m elevation are still bare!

Unusual to see severe weather to this degree and that widespread in the west. Very unusual.  |

Today was cool and showery with a high of 68 (20 c).
Nowdata made a huge error yesterday. The low was 58 (14 c) but itβs entered as 45 (7 c). Rochester is supposed to be a quality controlled station so hopefully it gets fixed but the NWS still hasnβt fixed the error from May 4th so I go knows.

Looks like monsoon season has finally started. One site had over 100 mm this week! Downtown had quite a lot also:  |

That second tweet reminds me of the time a bolt of lightning struck a lamppost during an all-night storm in Denver. That was exciting. On a related note, look at this Wyoming beauty: |

Seems like May is going to end up with about 330 hours of sunshine. So despite the very cool temperatures, we've at least been a bit sunnier than average. Sunshine this spring was about 110-115% of the 2002-2018 average, and February was a fair bit sunnier than average as well.

I went for a hike at nearby Lake Thunderbird today. It was nice, with temps in the low 80s F (28C), and dews around 60F (16C). It was sunny as well. I feel like that's great outdoor weather in the summertime; I wish that was closer to our typical weather in July and August.

PNW oceanic climates seem to be worse than European oceanic climates for storms though. Yeah, London is better for storms than either of those cities (which isnβt saying much). Vancouver and Seattle have better winters though. |
