May 2019 Forecasts and Discussions

Looks like May was the 3rd warmest in the past 5 years at Shawnigan Lake but also the 3rd warmest in the past 30 years. I didn’t have time to look further back. Spring isn’t what I remember when I was growing up, at least for most of this decade

Why does Cliff Mass keep saying it’s going to be a wetter than normal summer, when NOAA, Brett Anderson etc suggest it’s going to be hot/dry? Where lies the disagreement?

EC suggest hot and dry too. I think some of the past dry Spring's have not necessarily translated into dry summers. Like 2015. I remember a dry May, June and early July in 2015 but also a big deluge around July 20 and lots of rain in late August. Maybe that's his reasoning.

Glad to hear Ms. Creeker so is finding your plants kinda like Gumps golf game the ball ends up in 3 to 4 feet of grass most of the time. my high on Friday was 26c out here in corn field city, the breeze was awesome it was not boiling hot just perfect no low clouds but hazy again.

Exactly! I need one of these or one of these the sheep and horses do most of my mowing but not in the garden.

It's trying to rain, cool with high overcast at the moment, it was hot and sunny earlier today.
