Crap weather for May 2026

[Alex_UK]

Just back from dog walk and it’s lovely out there 21c and sunny, should get to 25c and then the clouds start to roll in…. Tomorrow looking ok so off to butcher to get stock in for a BBQ before the season changes on Monday and we’re back to winter.

After a wet night, more rain due and 13c

Rain! I've almost forgotten what it's like. Going to get reminded on Monday though since ten hours of it is forecast.

[Barry]

16C and cloudy. Expected to reach 23C later, with a slight possibility of some rain.

[CageyH]

18C and cloudy, a forecast of rain, with a high of 23C.

[Pigmy Pony]

Grey and 14C, should brighten up a bit, but with showers. Not a day for planning anything.

dull here, only just got up! Sunny showers is the forecast and will only manage 17C.

Sunny start, walked up the boot sale* with dog and still too hot for him in the sun, about 21. Should get a bit warmer but cloud until around 7pm when it should be nice to sit on the patio with a (non-alcoholic) beer after the BBQ - lots of gardening and DIY to do before then.

So much for “having a week off” - back to work tomorrow for a rest!

* nothing much doing at the boot sale, a few stalls with vinyl (when Showadawaddy’s Greatest Hits is at the front of the crate you know it’s not going to be worth a rummage!) but didn’t see any electronics or speakers. Son wants to try coarse fishing so had this fanciful idea that I’d rock up to the bootie, find someone with a full set of gear for a tenner and job’s a goodun. Not looking likely!

If your lad takes up any fishing that's not in the sea, be sure to get him a rod licence - not big money, but if caught without one will cost dearly :doh:

Edit: I see that it's free if he's 16 or under.

Yep, already told him I’ll buy him a Rod Licence for his birthday! [emoji6]

I think its about 36 quid for me for a year, I guess I’ll need one too, even if I’m just “instructing” although that will be stretching it as I know naff all about fishing and haven’t done it in 40 years, but could be fun!

Been threatening rain all afternoon, sky is battleship grey but nothing's happened yet.

[CageyH]

It did not rain here either. We could do with a bit of rain.

[Barry]

Hasn't rained here either. Expect it will rain tomorrow.

[Macca]

I don't think we got rain either if we did it wasn't enough for me to notice it.

Tomorrow morning they're giving heavy rain a '95 percent plus' chance.
