Hummm. This sounds very interesting. There is a daylight shower coming
from the general direction of the hyphotetical WM1 radiant. The Omicron
Cetids have a broad maximum extending from 14/May to 25/May:

"The meteor shower seems to occur annually, but may be prone to periodic
or irregular increases in activity."
What do you think? Is it a good candidate for the WM1 shower, even
knowing the WM1 has a very long period?
