Looks like finally a real warmup, average temps next few days then models (EURO and GFS) showing one cool day next week followed by agreement that 80s should by in the forecast late next week.

Risk of thunderstorms in tomorrow afternoon's forecast! Our first time this year! I'm not sure it'll actually happen but it's a good reminder that it's that time of year again.

Today got to 42 (6 c), very chilly for the time of year.
Another 0.8” (2 cm) of snow fell overnight, bringing the storm total to 2.7” (6 cm). Snow patches lasted a whole day, surprisingly long for almost mid May.
In the morning, it changed over to rain and another 0.60” (15 mm) of precipitation fell today.
This brings the month to 3.23” (82 mm) already, already above average and 3x the mtd average.

I gotta start ignoring any predictions not temperature-related in the forecasts cause they are just not happening this season LOL. |

So. Why all the cold weather for the UK this spring (first dry, but now wet)? It's to do with the position of the jetstream, which separates the polar air from the tropical air. High latitude high pressure blocking is causing it to dive south around the UK, leaving us in the cold air, whereas places to the south and east of it, are getting warm humid weather. The jetstream forecast shows the UK remaining north of the jetstream for the forseeable future, which means there is no possibility of having any improvement in conditions, as long as that remains the case.  |

Wind has kept the temps a bit lower than anticipated in Turku. 24.2C now. The wind is pretty mild, so it doesn't really create noticeable windchill.
It's the warmest on the northernmost edge of the front. Oulu Oulunsalo is the warmest with 27.9C RN, and it seems to be the hottest temp so far recorded. Meanwhile only 14.5C in Rovaniemi.

New annual minimum in Buenos Aires, including the first below freezing figure within the Metro area.
BA Observatory: 4.8C
La Plata Aerodrome: 3.6C
BA Airport: 0.2C
El Palomar: -1.5C
However, it’s a very sunny day and we’re expected to reach 19C, kinda high range for this time of the year.

Ridiculously cold temperatures (for May) in NC this afternoon due to a late-season CAD event. As of 2 PM EDT  |

LMAO!  Didn't notice that at all.

And annoying that it was Oulu which got the record and not Turku for example. Oulu has the nationwide record ever for October as well.

Met.Data That map offends me because this subarctic maritime peninsula sticking out into the Mediterranean Sea is getting walloped by FREZZING COLD WINDS from the Atlantic.

So although the forecasts have utterly failed us when it comes to precipitation, there are some serious and large stormy-looking clouds towering over town right now. Not sure if they'll actually pass over and give us some real rain or a thunderstorm but our chances are decent, I'd say.
