Yeah, but there are a lot of 14-17 days too.

Look at the sun amounts and rainfall. For a 2 week spell in late May, I'd expect to see maybe 3-4 days with showers, and at least 6-8 hrs per day.

If that forecast is correct, we will beat the record for the cloudiest May on record (112 hrs in 1981). The 2nd cloudiest May is way back, with 123 hrs.

Definitely not a good way to enter the summer

The last time May was extremely cloudy was in 2007, with 150 hrs. Though the 3rd cloudiest May on record was 2006, with 128 hrs.

So no real indication as to what your summer will be like. 2006 had that record July, 2007 was poor right?

2006 had a warm June, a record July, and a cool/cloudy August.

2007 had a wet and cloudy June, a very cool/wet/cloudy July and August.

I'll go with the first week of June, as the forecast is not looking great for May at the moment.
At 2 o'clock precisely.

Im willing to put money that our summer will be average at best with strong odds of a below normal second half. Also with below normal 90 degree days. Sad...

I think we will have a shocker, but at least 1 short lived heat spike like in 2015, in the mid 30s.

As it's a public body I'm sure you can request it under the freedom of information Act? It should be available
