According to 5 weather it may get down to 5 degrees by Friday in some parts of the country also lots of heavy rain coming in.

I'm just hardening off a load of plants but may bring them back into the greenhouse if it looks too bad.

So it's worth keeping an eye on your tender stuff.

No your mixing two up:

1. March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb

2. Never cast a clout till May is out.

(Clout = warm clothing)

Also

Thirty days hath  September
April, June and November
All the rest have thirty one
Except Grandma
And she has a pushbike.

Although May is normally thought to assume to the Hawthorn flowering not the month. Which is a shame caus it is all flowering near me so it may have got it wrong.
