What May feels like
The heat is here and the hiking moves to first light — the Franklins have almost no shade and the rock holds the day's warmth well into the evening. Locals switch to pools, early markets, and the drive up to Cloudcroft when the desert gets tiresome.
Real rain shows up maybe one day all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. about 16 afternoons top 90°.
