May only has 30 days??? Not where I live...

No idea. I'm not the one making the allegations that the "last photo" had to be a fake based on some unidentified weather chart from an unidentified source.

Sagres is the Algarve "Land's End": it can get bad weather from Atlantic fronts, which tend to move towards the east. Wednesday was a rainy morning in PdL. The Sagres charts show sunny weather in Sagres on the Thursday, while Faro was miserable.

As a long time visitor to the Lizard, I agree with you. Very different from upcountry Cornwall.

Nor me.  Thirty days hath September, etcetera

You can also place your fists together (assuming one has two hands) and count knuckles and dips. May is the 3rd knuckle of the left hand.


Alternatively one could also consult one of the millions of calendars that appear in the mail towards the end of the year...

Unless someone has weather data from a station "smack dab in the middle" of PdL it leaves us guessing.

leaves us guessing but obviously hall has better sources...or not

I have more trouble remembering that mnemonic than I do days in each month.

But yes.

There seem absolutely no doubt that 31 days hath May ....

(I read it in a diary.  So it must be true) ....

Until the source of the weather map is provided, I think I'll go with the Sagres one as being the most likely indicator of weather there that day.

Then, there is still the Tapas 3 May high tea issue. For some reason the Tapas cook appears to have been discounted as an independent witness. I'm still waiting to discover why.

I'll try to find the energy to embark on Part 2 of this series shortly...

There are other exposed places referred to as "Land's End". Finistère is another.

This is all about meteorology and photography.
Maybe Annie Leibovitz and John Kettley could provide some useful input ?

[ferryman]

It all has a definite edge on Richard Hall's film ....

"Dirty days hath September April June and November.
All the rest have dirty ones except February's which are indescribably filthy"

My "us" was a sort of "global" us which would include Mr Hall.
Two weather data sets taken at locations 120 kilometres apart and we are going to interpolate a third data set for a spot about 1/5 of the way along going W to E.
Hurricane ? what hurricane ? (1987 joke)

Don't bank on it.  Somedebody will tell you otherwise.  It might depend on February which sometimes has a few too many days.
