A random smattering of weather data reported on eBrandon during the month of May... a month that turned out to be on the average quite a bit cooler than normal.
The highest reported temperature was 24.8 on May 27. Lowest -5 on the 16th.
I was always taught that 1-2 PM was typically the hottest time of the day. In May however, the high hourly temp on 18 of the 31 days was around dinner time... either 5 or 6 PM. Less surprisingly, 17 daily low temps were at 5 or 6 AM.
The average high temperature was 15.7, average low 1.6. Included in that low temperature were 12 days where the temp dipped below zero (hopefully those days are behind us for a few months!).
Interesting to note that the average high in May is historically supposed to be several degrees warmer, 19 degrees.
The biggest day-to-day increase in high temperatures was 11.2 from May 15 (high of just 4 degrees) to May 16th (high of 15.2). Conversely the biggest day-to-day drop in high temp was 11.3 from May 6-7.
Only 3 days included what were reported as "Thunderstorms".. although we have yet to receive the typical late afternoon/early evening boomer. In total, rain was recorded on 18 days, snow on 1.
Here's hoping for a warmer June!
