Here’s a surprise.

The average temperature during May 2019 was 61.5 degrees. While most residents thought it was a rather cold and dreary month, that temperature was 1 degree above the normal average, which is 60.5 degrees for May.

However, to appreciate these stats, the maximum average temperature for May reached only 71.1 degrees, and – here you go – the average minimum temperature for the month was 51.8 degrees.

Theses weather stats are from Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.

There’s more. If you thought we experienced more rain than normal in May, you are correct. The normal average May precipitation is 4.01 inches. May 2019 registered 5.90 inches of rain.

Most of that fell between May 9 to 19 when 2.52 inches were recorded. And, May’s temperature extremes reached a stretch of 49 degrees.  The month’s high was 87 on May 25. The low was 38 on May 14.
