A Mixed May Bank Holiday

Let’s start by all looking at each other and doing the classic, polite “how on earth is it May already?” routine. I’m fairly sure Christmas was only yesterday.

Sunny intervals today, with a risk of showers and some patches of coastal mist. The best of the dry, bright weather is likely this afternoon. Light to moderate south‑westerly winds, becoming light and variable later. Highs of 15°C.

Tomorrow will be often cloudy with showery rain. There’s a small chance the rain becomes persistent before easing later in the day. Light to moderate west or north‑west winds, freshening later. Top temperature around 13°C.

Thankfully, Monday brings a return to nicer weather, dry with sunny intervals and highs of 15°C.

Looking ahead, Tuesday should be an alright day too, with sunny intervals and temperatures around 13°C.

Mystic Moz

Been crying and not sure why? Feeling more irritated by the establishment than usual? That tracks, and not just because of the full moon we’ve just had.

Yesterday (May 1) was the Flower Moon, essentially just another full moon, but one that many people feel brings heightened emotions, intense energy and a general sense of restlessness.

Common experiences include increased anxiety, irritability, vivid dreams and deeper emotional sensitivity.

While the science is mixed, some studies suggest full moons can disrupt sleep and amplify whatever emotions are already bubbling away. And look, if the moon can move the tides, it’s no surprise it can nudge us lunatics around a bit too.

Enjoy your weekend! Charlie x
