What May feels like
Buc Days takes over the bayfront for a couple of weeks in May: carnival, rodeo, a boat parade, and more fried food than any person needs. Afternoon storms build faster now, though they usually blow through in an hour and leave the evening clear.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Full tropical humidity: mornings are your friend, and shade is currency. about 10 afternoons top 90°.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 82° — bath-warm.
