What May feels like
The wettest month of the year here, and it comes heavy rather than constant — one afternoon can do most of the month's work. Barton Springs becomes the entire plan by the end of May; it stays the same chilly temperature year-round and that is precisely the point.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 11 afternoons top 90°.
