For my area....May, it’s a no...We’ve had plenty of above normal May’s...which is great!

But June....that’s another story....we had many at or slightly below normal,
however, an above normal June seems to be rare for some reason.
Weird, because the other 11 months of the year...above normal....no problem.

In Toronto the past Mays have either been too hot or too cold. The last 'normal' May was 2014.

2015: After a very cold 4 months, spring was skipped May was summerlike with multiple 25C+ days
2016: After a very cold April, summer hit in late May with 30 degree weather
2017: Entire May was unseasonably cool and damp
2018: After a very cold April, spring was skipped and May was summerlike with multiple 25C+ days
2019: First half of May was damp and downright cold at times. Second half was closer to seasonal

Interestingly I was just watching Abc news today they state this heat wave coast to coast is unique as it’s the first time many cities in the east or country see 90f(32c) temps for the first time this year. Signifying that this summer has arrived late in many areas. So it is not just my imagination.

I did notice the heat waves in May at the Pacific Northwest which there are a number of days when the highs in Portland and even Seattle seems higher than in Phoenix. Though when I was there in Seattle and vancouver during June it was very chilly in both cities the week I was there.

Yes, especially June 2019. We had cool temps unseen for entire decades in the middle of the month.

On the other hand, these were really good and mild temps. Summer without A/C sounds ideal.

Seattle's had pretty warm and dry springs the last couple of years. I remember as a kid growing up in the Puget Sound area May and June were pretty much always 24/7 light drizzle. Now it's just dry and semi-clear with a couple showers here and there. We also seem to be getting more wind, lots of clear sunny days with constant wind.

Last year my GMIL was able to get her "Arizona Tan" by the 4th of July; didn't quite get it this year because we had more wind that kept her inside but I've felt that the environment is overall more dry here in recent years. It's becoming a problem for our water supply as well; we're having to keep an eye on our water levels since the snowpacks are failing to get enough snowfall leaving us with diminished water levels. Bad not just for household water needs, but also for our already struggling wild salmon population.

That's absolutely been the case here in Ohio the past several years. I can remember at least three Mothers Days in recent years when the high hasn't even hit 55 ... and almost without fail, Memorial Day is close to 90. That was the case this year, but we also had a day here in June when the high was about 63 and the wind chill (yes, wind chill) was in the 50s all day. I can't remember a day that chilly in June ever.
The cooler weather does seem to hang on a bit longer. On the flip side, a few days last October were close to 90 (88 on October 8 and 86 and 82 the next two days, respectively) before a strong cold front swept that out of here and we fell back to the 50s and 60s we should get that time of year. Those highs I mentioned are roughly 20 degrees above normal for those dates.

Though don’t yah to soon. Once summer arrives it will roar in like a lion. The recent heatwave is enough proof.

As with the other poster I also notice that summer last longer after it does arrive sometimes well into October and even November.

To me at least, so far this late spring/summer seems milder and cloudier than the previous years I've been here (this is going to be my 4th year here). Could be just in my head though lol. And yesterday, at least here in Olympia it rained pretty heavily most of the day which was nice. I don't remember getting such heavy rain in July like that since I've been here.

Are you sure about 2017? Idk how to look up past monthly averages for Canadian cities, but in Buffalo and Rochester, May 2017 was 0.0 degrees F and 0.8 degrees F below average respectively, so nearly average in temperature--I can't imagine Toronto would be too different.

Maybe your feel for what's average has been skewed by these other unseasonably warm Mays--like 2018, which was about 8 degrees F above average in Buffalo! Summerlike, indeed.
