Weeks of wet weather to come during Britain's coldest May in 300 years

Metro
"Central England temperatures so far this month average 8.6C, 1.6C below normal. The last time May was colder was in 1698, at 8.5C over the whole month. And the Met Office has warned that weeks of wet weather ahead could wash out the Queen’s diamond jubilee celebrations. The Environment Agency issued two flood warnings and 14 alerts, warning of high tides swamping coastlines across South Wales." (H/T Climate Realists)
