May finished not quite as dull as 1993, 2014 and 2021 but the Weekend Curse made it feel much worse than any of those awful months. I have never hated a May as much as I despised the one just gone and ditto for Spring as a whole.
The worst ever season for the Weekend Curse. 5.62 hours average for the weekdays which would translate to an above average 517 hours for the season had it been replicated at the weekends but the ludicrous 2.9 hour average that was recorded for the weekends would equate to an utterly revolting 267 hours which is way lower than any spring has ever recorded 🤢
7 consecutive months of this vile, irrational and inexplicable curse. Not one of those has even seen weekends manage 85% of the weekday average 🤯It's just beyond ridiculous.
Worst Seasons for the Weekend Curse (weekend daily sunshine as a % of weekday with averages in brackets) :
1. Spring 2023: 52% (5.62/2.90)
2. Summer 2007: 61% (4.30/2.63)
3. Autumn 2021: 66% (3.73/2.47)
4. Spring 2020: 73% (7.11/5.16)
5. Summer 2011: 82% (4.78/3.93)
That three of those five hideous seasons are in the 2020s is telling 🤢
I thought the 2010s were the nadir for weather, particularly 2014-19, so I am truly flabbergasted by how the 2020s have managed to sink so much lower 😴
2023 so far makes years that were excruciating to endure, such as 2014, seem almost bearable by comparison so wouldn’t be surprised if summer 2023 manages to blast summer 2011 out of the Hall of Shame 🤮
