Ne'er cast a clout 'til May is out! I'm not sure who came up with this particular old saying, but I have always understood it to mean the May blossom, and not the month of May. This year our May blossom has been in bloom for some time, but any clouts cast have been pretty soon put back on again.
Perhaps it is the month that is refered to after all. It's nearly the end of the month and the sun is actually shining today, so maybe now is the time!
