April broke the records in meteorological terms for heat in Ireland and in the UK for lack of rain as well.
Of course the spell was broken as we entered May, and the foretold wintery weather vaguely returned, with a lot lower temperatures, hail and stormy winds.
Stalker ain’t dabbling the toe into the weather prediction territory, but people are saying June and July are going to get hot. "Cast not a clout till May be out" is still sage advice.
Climate control in the mushroom industry certainly has been getting a fair challenge with the extremes of temperature so far this year.
