Below is the May CET from 1659-2014 in blue, the 30 year average in red and the linear trend in black.

The CET this month is likely to finish somewhere between 8.5 and 9.5C. The average May following an April within that range is 11.5C.

 

The linear trend for the whole record is +0.14C per century. Following this trend gives an  May CET of 11.5C.

The linear trend since 1850 is +0.62C per century. Following this trend gives an May CET of 11.7C.

The linear trend since 1950 is +1.09C per century. Following this trend gives an May CET of 11.8C.

The linear trend over the last 50 years is +2.40C per century. Following this trend gives an May CET of 12.1C.

The linear trend over the last 30 years is +1.57C per century. Following this trend gives an May CET of 12.0C.

 

Last year, the 30 year average for May hit 11.8C (11.78C) for the first time on record. To take the 30 year average to 11.9C for the first time, a CET of 13.0C or higher is needed, while taking it back to 11.7C requires 9.9C or less.

Difficult to judge, a lot of long range models have consistently predicted that May would be a cool month, that said they have been completely wrong with April (Average and wet prediction). So at this point I will wait to see how the cooler spell pans out over the coming days, if this breaks down into a warmer pattern again then I might go for something warm, if not I will back the long rangers.

Right then, it is a 12.0C from me, a little above average.

Despite a cold few days to start, the trend is for a milder south-westerly regime to take charge, add to that I do think we will see our first proper summer-like spell occur during the middle to latter part of the month, this signalled by the monthly models.

The 06z GFS would have the CET around 9.5C to the 6th, 1.1C below the 81-10 average and 0.3C below the 61-90 average to that date.

Looking cool for the first 10 days.  However, I have come to learn that calling low often bites you as we rarely come in below average these days.  I will call 12.0C
