May Weather Forecast Predicts Storm Cycles and Warm Spells
The text quotes Rev Hicks predicting a stormy May with frosts in the North and a rapid warm trend around the third. A 7th to 18th storm period brings danger days near the 9th to 11th, followed by cool days and a high barometer by mid month. Pronounced violence around the 19th to 24th and a wet spell near the 25th precede reactionary movements by the 27th.
