Spring always sucks in SNE. At least nearish to the coast. I was just reading my wood yard forefather's diary from 1806.
May 19th :
"Very warm mercury at 90 ; higher than it has been since 13th of august last"
May 20th:
"yesterday the heat was oppressive, today the wind has blown from the NE & a fire has been necessary to prevent the numbing effects of the cold"
