Some wild swings in temperatures in May for the Dryden area.
Bill Laidlaw of Signal Weather Services says that was the weather story of the month as we experienced everything from sun to snow.
The average temperature was 11 degrees, very close to the long term average of 11.2.
Laidlaw says the warmest day was the 18th at 27.5, while the coldest day was -2.6 on May 27.
He notes the late frost after Victoria Day was harsh but not unheard of.
The CKDR Meteorologist says rainfall in May was normal at 43.5 millimetres.
The long term average is 39.6 millimetres.
Laidlaw says we had 10 days of rain and some of us even saw snow on May 25.
He says the start of June is looking like a record breaking one with hot and humid temperatures late this week and early next week.
