What May feels like
May brings Shaky Knees, the Jazz Festival over Memorial Day weekend, and the point where the humidity starts asserting itself. Evenings stay comfortable enough that the rooftop bars are worth the wait.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy.
