I am going to London for most of this May and am wondering what to wear. I am generally a warm person. Can I make do with short sleeves and a light jacket most of the time and a few long sleeve items? Is May a short sleeve month generally?

I would suggest you are one layer short, something like a light sweater or (my preference) a polartec 100 fleece. I would not describe May as a short sleeve month in London.

And it will rain. Take wet weather gear too.

I think one short-sleeve T-shirt plus one light raincoat should be very fine for May in London. It should be around 15-20C/ 70F there in May.

I must be a warm person also - in Europe last month, I was always too warm, and the same thing with my husband and kids. Maybe it's that we're from Minnesota - but we were wearing a light shirt and vest, while the rest of the people were wearing down parkas! Layering is probably the best idea.
