 Month   FE    Axis   N      mean     ±             Notes
 -----   ----  ----  ---    ------- ------  ---------------------
  May    RxA     Z    41     0.04    0.11       3 < Tmean < 15
                 X    22    -0.16    0.18

  May    HARP    Z    91     0.14    0.16       1 < Tmean < 14
                 X    30    -0.34    0.14     
                 Y    30    -0.17    0.09 

  June   RxA     Z    16     0.37    0.18       5 < Tmean < 12
                 X    11    -0.15    0.13

                 X    33    -0.34    0.14     
                 Y    33    -0.18    0.12 

The trends for March and April are given below. The strong trends seen previously remain. This can likely be attributed to these months being amoung the warmest of the year.
 May:  HARP Z  = (+0.55 ± 0.07)*sin(el) s.d. 0.12
 May:  RXA Z   = (+0.28 ± 0.08)*sin(el) s.d. 0.98
 Jun:  HARP Z  = (+0.27 ± 0.08)*sin(el) s.d. 0.14
 Jun:  RXA Z   = (+0.61 ± 0.31)*sin(el) s.d. 0.16
