This weather is getting me down. Is it May or March?

Two days ago it was 23C here in the South of England, hot in the sunshine. Today it is 9C with a cold wind to make it feel even colder. Last night, for the first time in a couple of months or more, temperatures dipped to within a whisker of freezing.

Have I just got too used to the warmer climes we have experienced in recent years? Thing is, I don't remember the weather yo-yoing like it has been doing. My system can't keep up!

It was above average with no rain in April so I don't see what the issue is.

Well that's you told Aely.
It's the swinging from really warm to really quite chilly from day to day that's the problem. Never know quite what level of warm clothing will be required.

Aely, last night on the Oxford plain it was 2deg! cold and damp out there and a bitterly cold wind out of the sun today. Capricious May.

It’s been very chilly here. The breeze is brisk and coming from a more northerly direction making it feel blooming cold 🥶.

Still it is only May, and that saying “Ne’er cast a clout ‘til May is out” still needs heeding, I think.

I agree, it’s the constant swing from reasonably warm to very cool that can affect our mood.

I’ve even known it to snow (briefly) in June before now, so keep those woollies near at hand 😅.

Cold here in Yorkshire, sunny spells but the wind so cold. I know what OP means , your body needs time to gradually adjust, not 'All or nothing' !
