May was the 28th month in a row to be the hottest on record.
Spring was also one of the 4 wettest on record, with ~50% more rain than an average spring.
“ the world's oceans have broken temperature records every single day over the past year - BBC analysis finds “
“ ~47 days smashed the record for that day of the year by at least 0.3C (BBC analysis of Copernicus data).

I spent much of my childhood on a Scottish isle, with golden sand and a deserted beach at the bottom of the garden. I’ve loved seagulls since.
Stormy days and plunging Gannets. Twilight Oyster Catchers and their evocative call. The grace of Great Black Backed gulls.
Later I flew gliders, inspired by gulls.
I've dreamt that when I die, I could be fed to Fulmars, so my atoms soar the oceans within them
In case anyone’s not too sure.. this is what a 'spring lawn' is supposed to look like.
Breakdown:
• No irritating lawn-mower lines.
• A multitude of flowers.
• Lawn-mower rests, unperturbed in garden shed.
• No Louis X1V - 'rules over nature'.
• No walking up and down for hours, making a really annoying, loud noise and irritating the neighbours.
Watched last night, as #BBC re-broadcast from some years ago. Interesting, because Yellowstone Park, is such a unique, relatively untouched/protected environment and the program is essentially focussed on how temperatures are rising and what the effect is on wildlife and the region.
It was also very noticable, that they never used the term climate change. Not once. It was made in 2016.
