May had 21 days with measurable precipitation. That's the most I can ever recall and it also did not have any sunny days. I have never seen that happen either. May was consistently cool but it did not break any temperature records. The night time lows did not go very low due to the cloud cover and that keeps the average monthly temperature up a bit.
