Consensus going for a rather warm May with rainfall and sunshine not deviating much from the norm but few going for any noteworthy high maxima which would continue the trend of recent Mays which have been significantly warmer than average without very high daytime temperatures.

It was not deliberate, DOC, I block copied April's intro post, which had a point form style, and tried to create a post similar to it, but ended up with the mess you see, and it kept appearing until I made a normal post later on forecast thread (was really worried it would show up everywhere) …

thanks for clarifying the posts early on …

… and thanks also to sryanbruen for creating a table of forecasts. I am on day ten of a trip in UT, AZ and NV and winding down now to our anticipated flight to Bellingham WA near Vancouver (Sat) / drive next day to home base on Saturday-Sunday. Sunny and 27 C and it's only 1015h (PDT) so it will likely be 32-34 easily here today (here being mesquite, NV east of Vegas). Will post a pic or two in forecast thread when I get home. Lots of fabulous scenery and saw two condors in flight (enormous wingspans of nearly 3 m) over Colorado River near Lees Ferry AZ, as well as one roosting on cliffs nearby. This endangered species has gradually recovered from a handful of about two dozen to 300-400 now, range is ne UT to sw CA.

… April scoring is done, annual updates will take a while. Possibly available 3rd. Our consensus scored 90! (met.ie take note)
