May 12: First swifts were seen, many together. On May 19 at night was a vast rain with thunder & lightening: frequent showers before & since; so that the ground is very moist; & the corn & grass grow. The floods are much out at Staines. In the beginning of the month there were frosts, hail, & some snow. Apricots continue to fall off peaches, & nectarines decent crop. Apples blow well: pears seem hurt by the frosts. Vine-shoots very backward; they were pinched by the frost.
