What May feels like
Late May is cedar gnat season — tiny biting flies that come off the junipers for a few weeks and drive people indoors. Locals cover up, carry a head net, and consider it a fair price for the last comfortable stretch before the heat lands.
Real rain shows up about 3 days all month; the rest stay dry. about 8 afternoons top 90°.
