What to pack

What May feels like

Air Force Academy graduation closes out the month and the Thunderbirds put on a show you can watch from half the city for free. Afternoon buildups begin now, and the local rule is to be off anything exposed before the clouds go dark.

Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
