What May feels like
This is when the truly heavy rain events happen — the ones people still refer to by their dates. In between it's a warm, humid, pool-and-patio month, and the last stretch before the heat stops being a season and becomes a structure.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. It’s sticky — light fabrics and an afternoon break earn their keep. about 10 afternoons top 90°.
