Are you serious/oblivious? Out of the 15 mornings so far in May, 10 have been 31F or colder and there are many climates colder than mine.
1) It was actually 24°f in England that night on double-checking
2) I was asking a question to find something out so not sure what you mean am I serious/oblivious. I don't live there so I don't know as much about the climate as someone who does, so we don't need the attitude. I was asking, from curiosity, about what extent of the USA that happens and somebody already provided the answer.

The US is bigger than Europe by land so there are always places that are cold and hot at the same time any time of the year.

Oh absolutely. That's why I was interested about which parts of the USA still regularly get into the mid-20's°F in mid-May. It is interesting to me from a climatological perspective.

About 300 miles or so due west of Philadelphia is Mount Davis, the highest point in Pennsylvania at a little over 3,000 feet. Last Saturday May 9, they recorded a high of just 32F and a low of 20F! Pretty much on par with average temperatures in January for that area - Pretty dang impressive for May in the Eastern US at 40N

I live an hour from Mount Davis. The trees there are still nearly BARE. Here's a picture from about 2900' in Somerset County last weekend while I was fishing

Well considering we have Tundra and Subarctic climates in the lower 48, yes there are many locations that have temperatures in the 20sF even in July (Rocky Mountains, Mount Washington NH, Mount Katahdin, Maine).
This was last Friday an hour northeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (where I live)

Yeah I should have been more specific and asked about areas at similar elevations to the English places I mentioned which are about 100-300m ASL as of course places that are high up will have subarctic climes, like we do here on the highest mountains (though our mountains aren't exactly tall).
Nice photo, I used to live in a place (20 miles west of here) that had snow in May a few times, but Sheffield is more or less never going to see it that late. My old home town even had snow in June 1975, which cancelled some sporting events. That place is at 300m (1,000ft) ASL. I suppose that would be a good question to ask, which areas of the USA have had disruptive snow in the month of June at 1,000ft AMSL? I'm sure it's happened in several places.
