We had May weather in April... many days in the 70-80's... flirted with 90 a couple days. Unheard of for a normal April..
On top of that not much rain at all... a few showers of .1 - .3 tenths... NOT RAIN... just a passing sprinkle really.
Our pastures are half what they should be, hayfields are 1-2 ft and should be 3+ ft tall and ready to cut. They are heading out with no quantity of grass.
Farmers are planting corn in the fields they normally do irrigation... and it will start within 2 weeks if this dry keeps up. There were even 2 that irrigated small grains that they chopped for haylage... NEVER seen that before.

Burn bans were sporadic here, but no one in their right mind was burning with all the wind we have had this year.

GA has had horrible fires, and Fl has some of the worst drought conditions ever.. they have gotten some rain in GA in the last few days to help, but thousands of acres and hundreds of homes destroyed.

This is serious and scary.

May temps are cooler than normal, upper 30's and low 40's nights when we should be warming... exact opposite from April...

Crazy.

Our march and April were also crazy warm, had 80s most of the time, 90s one day in march, but then it would suddenly snap down, had week in the middle of 2 80s weeks of -15 in the day! Now it is acting like April, 35-40 at night and 70s in the day, but at least its slowly warming like spring instead of swinging wildly. We had about 4 decent rainstorms in the past MONTH (3 had hail!), so we are also dry, because its normally more like 3x this, and it was a very dry winter too. We aren't quite as drought as many places though, thanks to the 3 hail storms. The hay fields are usually ready here too, but no, only about 2 ft tall. all but one of my peas died from the crazy temps.
