However, it was the warmest May on record at 68.2°, 7.8° above normal. Only two days had below normal temps. Only the 54th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 My dad mentioned that Toledo hit 98 degrees on May 28th. This breaks a record for the highest temperature in May of all time at Toledo. It happened at around this time (18z - 19z) As you can see, 94+ was common among the Mesonet stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Even though FWA had the warmest May on record, they still ended up below normal for the spring (only 0.1° below, but..hey lol). One the best switch flips in my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB WX Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 May was garbage locally. Filled with chilly rainy weekends. With normal highs starting at 60 its a great month to get "torch" departures and shrug them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring 2018 Is The Worst Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Lol, a record warm month is "garbage" to you. You have some ridiculous standards that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB WX Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I said locally. It was filled with rainy weekends. lake breeze nearly every day - even the hot days we had relief from the ice cube waters to start the month. Never ran the AC once. Good thing you don't live in Port Washington Constant lake breeze and the day's in the 40's stand out in my memory over the heat. May has always been my favorite month to torch. Hoodie day today with windchill in the 40's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 The most maddening thing is we finally warmed up and it didn't do jack for severe weather activity.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where he's coming from, the timing of the nice weather wasn't great. It was a beautiful May imo for Madison (sans the four straight warm capped off days in the 90s they just had). Half their days were in the 70s or just under (they had a 69F day). They also had 12 days with thunderstorm action. That's best climo in my book! May in Milwaukee on the other hand will almost always have its down moments, which decrease as you get into June (the best month when it comes to combining nice weather and tstorm chances).

I think Cheeseland Skies has a good chance to cash in. I wouldn't be complaining too much about tstorm activity when the frequency was pretty good in May, just a matter of time I think before the intensity ratchets up.

The one cooler exception was 1896. Top 10 list for each...
