When is spring break for Florida schools? When is Lake County on spring break?
The end is in sight for the 2024-2025 school year, but before Florida students put away their books, there are a couple of holidays to look forward to.

May weather folklore: May flowers and barns full
We've all heard that April showers bring May flowers, but what does May bring? May is a month full of spring! Temperatures get warmer, flowers bloom, and everything is green. So, let's dive into some weather folklore surrounding May. Up first is the saying, 'When September has been rainy, the following May is generally dry. When May is dry, September is apt to be wet.' This one is a little less common for May folklore, but it draws a connection between May and September. According to the saying, a rainy September means a dry May. Springfield averages 4.31″ of rainfall in September, but September 2024 was very dry with just 1.71″ of rain. What does that mean for May, then? Well, this bit of folklore doesn't necessarily have an answer, but if you reverse the weather conditions from wet to dry in September, perhaps the same can be done for the following May. Next up, 'A wet May will find a barn full of hay.' There are many weather sayings for May that revolve around having a full barn. This ties into the saying, 'April showers bring May flowers,' in that May is a month of growth and is usually lush. Lastly, with the Papal Conclave set to make a decision soon in the Vatican, it only seems appropriate that the final May folklore be the 3 Chilly Saints. The 3 Chilly Saints are St. Mamertus, St. Pancras, and St. Gervais. These French saints celebrated their respective days on May 11, 12, and 13, marking the occasion with a feast. The French believed in waiting until after these days had passed before doing any planting to avoid frost damage to plants. In the United States, a similar saying is to wait to plant until after Good Friday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Bank Holiday Monday weather forecast - rain for most, frost on the way
The bank holiday weekend will end with cloud and rain for much of the UK, the Met Office has forecast. The weather service said that Monday would be 'rather cloudy with rain continuing eastwards, sometimes heavy and thundery over England in the afternoon'. It added that 'sunny spells and showers' will follow into western regions with temperatures mostly around the seasonal norm. Met Office operational meteorologist Dan Stroud said: 'It will be a rather cloudy start to Monday with a band of rain moving eastwards during the course of the day, turning a little bit brighter and showery from the west later on Monday afternoon. 'So it's not a complete washout for the likes of Northern Ireland, Wales and the south and west.' ADVERTISEMENT READ MORE: Major UK supermarket removes self-service checkouts at 24 of its stores READ MORE: Toblerone discontinues popular product in 'sad day for the world of chocolate' Mr Stroud said there would be highs of 17C to 18C on Monday but temperatures may drop overnight into Tuesday 'low enough for a touch of frost in the very far north of the country'. He told the PA news agency: 'But for many, Tuesday actually starts on a dry and bright note. We've got the legacy of Monday's rain still hanging on to the extreme north and east of Scotland but then it's all eyes to the west as a fairly deep area of low pressure approaches. 'So cloud and outbreaks of heavy rain will spread in from the west during the course of Tuesday.' Mr Stroud added that parts of Devon and Cornwall have already had their average monthly rainfall over the last week. The meteorologist said conditions will 'gradually improve' and 'become increasingly dry and bright' towards the end of the week as high pressure starts to build in from the north. ADVERTISEMENT Tourism authority VisitEngland estimated that around 10.6 million British adults planned to take a holiday in the UK over the bank holiday period. The AA said just over 18 million journeys are expected on Monday, up from 15.8 million on last year's Easter Monday, which fell at the end of March. Train passengers were warned about disruption as Network Rail undertakes engineering work over the Easter weekend. The Government-owned company said it would carry out work on more than 300 projects across Britain between Good Friday and Bank Holiday Monday, causing a number of lines to be closed. The most significant impact was due to be at London Euston – the UK's 10th busiest railway station – which had no services to or from Milton Keynes on Saturday and Easter Sunday, and a reduced timetable on Good Friday and Monday. That was because of work including renewals of overhead electric lines and drainage improvements. Meanwhile, travel trade organisation Abta said approximately 2.2 million Britons would head overseas during the long weekend, with Good Friday being the busiest day for travel.
