An official air frost has just been recorded at Edinburgh Gogarbank and what is interesting here is that the 1981-2010 May average for the number of air frosts at that particular station is just 0.9 days over the course of the entire month.
This means that even though we are only on the second day of this month as I write with more than 4 weeks to go until the end of the month, this month will now already be going down as being frostier than average overall at Edinburgh Gogarbank, regardless of what happens between now and the end of this month.
The result of this is that this month is already our second frostier than average month in a row, and our third frostier than average month of this year (the other one was back in January). This is also the second year in a row where May has been frostier than average.
That in turn, makes it hard to believe that we are only just over four weeks away from the start of the meteorological summer.
