Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 15, 2016

In the original Roman calendar (before Julian and Gregorian), it was called Maius.

Usually it is warmer before a rain, and turns cooler right after.

It’s May, It’s May, that gorgeous holidayWhen every maiden prays that her lad will be a cadIt’s mad, it’s gay, alive, a lust displayThose dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaksEveryone makes divine mistakesThe Lusty Month of May

-LERNER, LOEWE

Children are more pragmatic than most adults, except Frazz, who has retained much of his childhood wonderment.

It May, it might not.

To Night-Gaunt49’s comment, April was the original start of the year, as is still true in many mid-eastern cultures. When they changed it to January, some people didn’t like it and still celebrated in April. They were considered fools. Thus, April Fools was born.

@thebird55Depends on where you live, I think. The wind before the rain(storm) is spot on for here. (if we are fortunate enough to get the rain)

Bold cold fronts and warm fronts can bring rain….Cold fronts can make thunderstorms and tornadoes, warm fronts generally bring gentle rains…..If it’s a warm front, it will feel warmer after it passes, not necessarily by much…..

browniejfbNo, That was just Learner. Lowe did the tune that made it memorable.

‘June’ is named for ‘Juno’, the Roman equivalent of ‘Hera’, the queen of the gods.

April, with spring. Hence April fools on the 1st.
