High/low of 60/40 today, like Benfxmth mentioned very chilly airmass for this time of year, but with the strong solar heating, high temperatures were still comfortable and relative humidity very low. |

24mm of rain this month - a nice, dry April. No rain in over 2 weeks either. Not complaining.

Sunny with a high/low of 68 F/28 F (20 C/-2 C) so an impressive 40 F diurnal range. Very dry again with dewpoints in the teens most of the day, lowest being 10 F/-12 C.
Another stellar day tomorrow with sunny skies and a forecast high of 68 F/20 C. These are the days to enjoy before summer rears it's ugly head.

A long cool spell here. It was mostly dry and sunny but cold winds gave it a very wintry feel:  |

NOAA's May forecast. Looks like strong high pressure expected over west TX. Guessing the central U.S. could be active tornado-wise.  |

Felt like summer today. Hit 90F for the first time of the year this afternoon. Then thunderstorms developed across the area. Some pretty intense with reports of hail and a good bit of lightning. Didn't get anything that intense overhead. Storm clouds as they were developing.  |

Late-Autumn Cold Snap About To Hit Southern Australia. ( Source: Weatherzone )  A blast of cold air will move over southern Australia this week causing a wintry mix of snow, hail, rain and blustery winds. A large mass of cold air originating from waters near Antarctica is moving towards Australia from the south. The satellite image below shows this polar air mass over the Southern Ocean on Monday afternoon, highlighted by the blue oval. A strong cold front at the leading edge of this frigid air mass will move through SA on Tuesday, before sweeping across VIC, TAS, NSW and the ACT on Wednesday and Thursday. This powerful front will cause temperatures to drop around 5 to 10 degrees across a broad area of southern Australia. Days and nights will both become noticeably cold behind the front and many areas likely to see their lowest temperatures so far this year. Most of Australiaโs population will feel the chill from this system: Melbourne and Hobart should only reach about 13 to 14 degrees on Thursday and Friday, with overnight temperatures dropping to about 8 to 9 degrees. Daytime temperatures in Adelaide will top 15 to 17 degrees on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, with nights cooling to about 9 degrees. Canberra will struggle to reach the mid-teens from Thursday and could only climb to 11 to 12 degrees on Friday and Saturday. Overnight temperatures in the nationโs capital should drop close to zero on Friday and Saturday mornings. Sydney should only reach about 19 to 21 degrees from Thursday to Saturday and minimums could hit single figures on Friday and Saturday mornings. This cold air mass could also cause the first frost of the year in central Australia and deliver the first decent snow of the season in mountainous areas of southeastern Australia later this week.  Image: Forecast air temperature around 1.5 km above the ground, showing cold air spreading over southern and central Australia on Friday morning. Snow could reach about 900 metres above sea level from Thursday and possibly get even lower in parts of TAS, VIC and southern NSW on Friday. This should deliver the first decent snowfall of the season in the alpine areas, giving ski resorts a taste of whatโs to come this winter. In addition to snow, the impending cold air mass will also produce small hail and rain in some areas. There are early signs that a small low pressure system could deliver a burst of heavy rain in southern and eastern TAS between Thursday and Saturday, with potential for more than 50 mm in 24 hours.  Image: Forecast accumulated rain between Monday and Saturday, according to the ECMWF-HRES model. This wintry mix of hail, snow and rain will also be exacerbated by blustery winds near and behind the front, with wind chill likely to make it feel several degrees colder than it actually is for some places. Cool air will linger across southeastern Australia into the weekend before milder weather returns early next week. |

And they wanted to commit me to a mental hospital when I lost my mind and started rambling about polar SE Australia.
That image is both hilarious and cancer at the same time. Validation. Can taste like KFC, and diarrhea.

Polar air there, but nice and decent here on the leeward side of the GDR:  *gloats* |

Quite cold for May today, high was only 44 (7 c). Had a soaking rain overnight with 0.53โ (13 mm) falling. Unfortunately too warm for snow though.
Some fuckers in Nebraska got a foot of snow, amazing for May. Even northern Colorado places like Sterling and Julesburg joined in with 1-2โ.

The first three days of May in Christchurch have all exceeded 20 C. The 1st had a high of 24.3 C, still a few degrees below the record high, but pretty good for May.
Meanwhile, Bangkok has had an unusually mild day with a high of only 28.5 C at one site (they were getting lows higher than that just a few days ago) and dewpoints dropping below 20 C. Fingers crossed for some properly good storms when I get back - should be good odds as peak storm season has just begun.

Had more steady rain from about 9 PM last night to 11 AM today. It then cleared up and got to 56 (13 c) before a brief evening shower that produced a nice rainbow. After another gap it started raining again at like 9 PM.
0.70โ (18 mm) had fallen as of 7 PM, bringing the monthly total to 1.23โ (31 mm) to date.
Already wetter through 4 days than any month since last May!
Ive surprisingly been enjoying the chilly, showery weather the past few days. Cool, cloudy and calm feels refreshing and itโs not too cold at all. Also the rain and clouds is a very nice change after April and late March where it was sunny and dry almost every day.

The Weather Station Cold Weather-Lovers Can't Take Their Eyes Off ( Source: Weatherzone )  At this time of year, certain weather stations are heavily watched by weather-lovers who crave more than a sun or cloud icon for their daily weather fix. Snow lovers in particular have their favourite stations as well as their favourite weather radars โ but interestingly, not all of them are in the mountains. For example, the Yarrawonga radar (centred on the Murray River, about 90 km west of Albury-Wodonga) is much-favoured by those seeking a bird's eye view of precipitation heading the way of the Victorian Alps and Snowy Mountains of New South Wales. There's also a weather station at Mount William in the Grampians which snow-lovers turn to in hope of seeing snow fall where it counts, and here's why. The Grampians are a stunning mountain range in Victoria's Wimmera region. They're a long way from the snowfields โ a good 400 km or so as the crow flies โ and they're not as high as the Vic Alps either. But the summit of Mount William is high enough at 1167 metres to get semi-regular snowflakes in winter.  And the weather station is definitely high enough (at 1150 m) to record some chilly temps that point to cold air heading east. See the live temps below at 4 pm on Thursday as we write this story? Mount William is the small dark blue 2 (ยฐC) on the centre left of the image. By any measure, 2 ยฐC is a chilly afternoon temp for western Victoria, even if it's a mountain.  The dark blue readings to the right of the image are the alpine weather stations. Often the alpine weather stations will be warmer than Mount William, but that's precisely why snow-lovers watch Mount William like hawks. Assuming a clastic winter westerly flow is in place, they know that when temps drop dramatically there, the cold airmass should hit the snowfields within half a day or so โ depending on the wind speed at higher elevations. So there's a hot tip for you this winter if you're a snow-lover. If Mount William's temp is dropping, your chances of decent snow are rising dramatically. Or as one Weatherzone reader rather poetically told us: "Mount William is the official, unofficial elevated snow lighthouse guiding Huey into the harbour. I don't mind what anyone says, Mount William is that first fat kid to the lolly bag." For the record, you can drive on a sealed road almost all the way to the top of Mount William. The views over the Grampians and to the farmland more than 800 (vertical) metres below will knock your socks off. There's also a new trail, opened late last year, called the Grampians Peaks Trail, which covers 160 km in Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park that takes up to 13 days to complete, depending on your speed.

17C at 6:00am today! Holy shit! This is like a very warm mid-summer morning here, nevermind early May! Of course this is a one-off and we'll be back to regular lows after this, but damn, I'm impressed!
Also, we hit a high of 27.6C yesterday, our warmest temperature since September 28th, and we hit a low of 10.1C which was our first low above 10C since September 18th, and the current forecast shows us at or above average every day this coming week. The dew point is also at 10C this morning which is the highest it's been in ages, and I definitely welcome this increased humidity.
All-in-all, May is off to an awesome start and really helping to make up for the sheer suckage that was April!
