What May feels like
Late May is when the sky begins building towers over the Everglades and shoving them east in the afternoons. Lovebugs arrive for a couple of weeks and glue themselves to every windshield on the Palmetto.
Expect about 7 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 6 afternoons top 90°.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 84° — bath-warm.
