I live in SW Florida and this is normally our dry season. Rainy season starts June 1st, usually exactly that date. However the last few days have been rainy all day; heavy rain at times. I'm not complaining because we were very dry with high fire danger just about everywhere in my county and the county south of us. However it concerns me as I hope it doesn't indicate a bad hurricane season, especially after Irma hit us last year.
As i always say about May ray, it is a wild card month. Most times i avg around 1 to 1.5" of rain for the month. Sometimes May can be wet like May of 1979 when we got 17" in two days in Tampa. Sometimes we get nothing. Most days are solid sunshine and we would have seen 90's by now.
South FL starts to see blow up's around May 20th and my area around June 10th to 20th. But it does vary a little every year.
Coldest year ever on modern record for the entire United States? This could very well be true, despite May being much warmer than average for most of the lower 48 States.
Probably not. 2010, 2011, 2013, and 2014 all had colder starts to the year looking at that data.
Raleigh and Oklahoma City are both ruffly average for year to date temperatures.
City of Edmonton - St. Albert - Sherwood Park.

Friday night..Clear. Low 13.
Saturday..A mix of sun and cloud. High 27.
Saturday night..Cloudy periods. Low 12.
Sunday..A mix of sun and cloud. High 25.
Normals for the period..Low 7. High 19.
However, as in years past, I continue to think Environment Canada go overboard with the heat warnings.
