What May feels like
By late May the humidity has moved in for the season and the beach traffic out to Tybee starts backing up on Highway 80 every weekend. Locals shift plans to either end of the day and let the middle of it go.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. There’s a little humidity in the air, but nothing that changes your plans. about 7 afternoons top 90°.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 75° — comfortable for swimming.
