I haven't said anything about May anomalies... just that I am looking forward to some warmer weather. I didn't think that was so controversial. Sort of a given.
I agree with your regional assessment though. Just a couple days saved this from being like May 2022.
68/43F here yesterday with mostly sunny skies. Warmer than I was expecting. Today looks pretty similar. Looks like we might score a bit more rain before June arrives.
