What May feels like

Late May is when the wet-season switch flips and the first real thunderstorms roll in. Locals call it the start of pool season; the ocean crowd heads for the coast on weekends, so Friday traffic east on the 528 is its own weather system.

Expect about 6 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 14 afternoons top 90°.
