Awful completely sunless day making three out of three totally vile days in the worst May Holiday Weekend ever endured. Two years on the trot where the three days have failed to total even two hours sun is beyond disgusting. Can't imagine any previous occasion when it would have been this bad. Even 1983 managed 3 hours in total and, until now, that truly represented the nadir of spring weather 🤮
Every year between 2007 and 2013, except 2010, managed at least 20 hours whereas this has now been reached only once since 2014 demonstrating just how poor a month May has become since then. Even the rotten 2010 holiday was better than any of the past three repugnant offerings which are so far from acceptable it's beyond surreal.

At the time the 2007-12 period seemed like a truly dire era due to the worst run of summers in recorded history. At least we had good springs and even some good winters. What the hell do we have now? Absolutely nothing. The winters are the pits, the springs are the equivalent of the 2007-12 summers, the summers are nowhere near as bad as then but still not great and autumns are as hideous as ever. The decade with nothing to offer. That is the 2020s 🙄🤬
