That big gap between (1) 15.1 in 1833 and (2) 13.9 in 1848 could get a visitor this month. Going to say 14.4 for fun.

Also a rather dry month, 32 mm. 

These are the guesses so far, any * indicates duplicates. I will publish complete tables of entries around 4th of May when all are posted. Will update this little summary after midnight. Medians as of now are 12.2 C and 68 mm.

Hoping that drier tendencies expand down from the north more than seen for much of this month.

___________________________________________________________________________

Top ten for May and all 20.0+

 1. 21.2 (29th, 1780)

 2. 21.1 (29th, 1944)

 3. 21.0 (25th, 1953), 21.0 (30th, 1944)

 5. 20.8 (29th, 1947)

 6. 20.6 (28th, 1847)

 7. 20.5 (31st, 1947)

 8. 20.4 (19th, 1868)

 9. 20.0 (15th, 1833) 20.0 (16th, 1808), 20.0 (31st, 1781)

(19.9 on 30 May 1947)

_____________________________________________________________________________

In researching that list, found this remarkable sequence in May 1807 ... 19.8 on 25th (record for date is 21.0 in 1953) to 4.9 C on 30th (record minimum).

It is also interesting to note that all of these warm days occurred before or during May 1953. 

The warmest May day since the end of May 1953 has been 19.4 (31 May 1978). The warmest since then was 18.9 (31 May 2003). 

We seem very overdue for some record warmth in mid to late May to add some more 20+ days to this list. 

When the all-time April record of 19.7 was set in 1775, these are the only days that year with a higher average CET ... 20.4 on 6th June, 21.1 on 21st July,
