There's an Irish proverb that goes 'A wet and windy May, fills the barn with corn and hay'. That's fine if crops are your thing. If not, and if you had the misfortune to have been out and about yesterday, you'll have squelched home, and clutching a restorative hot whiskey in one withered hand and your smartphone in the other, spent some considerable time googling 'waterproof jackets'. Or 'trench foot'. Or, if last night's rain was anything to go by, 'lifebuoys'. Mmm. The joys of the Irish 'summer'.
