Something else I wanted to tell you this week, and that is, doesn't obviously, for obvious reasons, as you'll work out, come under the Good Time Guide, but the Hawley branch... of the Royal British Legion are holding a service to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings this Sunday. It's going to be at 12 noon at the War Memorial on Brighton Road in Hawley.
The service is going to be going on. There's going to be music and readings. The music provided by the Red Hill Corps of Drums, who of course have been... Previous guests on the Planet Reigate podcast, readings by pupils of Oakwood School, an opportunity to lay wreaths and crosses and present standards. Schools, organisations and members of the public of all denominations are welcome to attend.
It's the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, which I'm sure you know. and the Hawley branch of the Royal British Legion are holding a service at 12 noon at the War Memorial at Brighton Road, that's just by the wreck there, on Sunday 9th June.
We've got our travel and weather and treasure together and our 60-second soundscape as well before we go at the end of the show. First of all let me tell you about a few job opportunities. a grounds maintenance operative at Earlswood for around 22k and several more, all on the council's website. And a nursery assistant job is available.
This is for Portfield Farm Nursery and Forest School, based in a rural location near Smallfield, so you'll have to know how to drive. Full-time, nine to five, five days, but we'll consider part-time two or three days. Eight till six. Pay dependent on qualifications and experience. Training is available. More information.
You can get in touch with Liz Pettit at Portfield Farm, Nursery and Forest School. And tell Liz you heard about it on the Planet Reigate podcast. Planet Reigate area travel news.

Questions were being asked later. Cheapest local petrol within five miles of the Old Town Hall at time of recording, £1.41.9 at Tesco Gatwick Extra, Reigate Road in Hookwood. And just hearing that no hidden treasure this week, incidentally, so sorry about that if you've been waiting for that. You know, sometimes things are on a bit of a hiatus as we enter into the summer holiday periods.
So maybe a few changes over the next few weeks. Give me a break. Literally, give me a break. If you want to give me a free holiday, that'd be good. OK, let's look at those weather stats then from Professor Weather. May was one of the warmest Mays that's ever been recorded in the planet Reigate area, mainly down to higher minimum temperatures. It was the fourth warmest.
But again, this was mainly down to the minimum temperatures being high and the lack of frosts. It wasn't overly hot, was it? No, not scorching temperatures. No surprise for the rain, the highest ever number of rain days and the second highest amount of rain as well. Yeah, the wettest, 74.4 millimetres of rain. And we had 17 days of rain in May, so 54% of the days it was wet.
So the summary then for May... from Professor Weather. The mean average temperature, 14.2. The average is usually 13.2. The mean maximum temperature, 19.7 Celsius. The average is 19. The mean minimum temperature, 9.2 Celsius in May 2024. The average, 8.1. Rain, 74.4 millimeters. Average, 50.5. And the rain days, as I say, 17. In May 2024, the average 11.2.
So looking at the rain we've had so far, this year confirms it is the wettest five months we've recorded at the start of the year. We've had 59.7% more rain than average in this period. Okay, let's look ahead to the weather then for the next few days. If you're listening to this on Friday, Friday the 7th, It's set to continue dry this morning. Plenty of sunshine this afternoon.
Clouds will increase from the west to become mostly cloudy, but it should stay largely dry. Saturday expected a start with partly cloudy skies and the chance of a shower at first, turning largely sunny later on. Sunday looks to see a mix of sunny spells and some cloud, but it should remain largely dry.
Patchy cloud on Monday with a few afternoon showers, those potentially heavy and thundery, and temperatures remaining below the seasonal average. And over the next few days, it looks like this. The warmest day, and this is really long-term stuff, so take this with a pinch of salt.
The warmest day over the next 25 days in the planet Reigate area is forecast to be Friday 14th June at about 18, which is 64. The warmest night, Saturday 15th June at 1355. And the average temperature over the next 25 days is... is 1457. The average for June is 1457. And that's your Planet Reigate area weather on the Planet Reigate podcast.
Thanks so much indeed for the loan of your ears for episode 39 of the Planet Reigate podcast. Much appreciated. Episode 40 will be here in another seven days with so much more as well, including the very latest lineup for the Reigate Summer Festival and... More features and stories from places you love and people you know.
