What May feels like
The Iroquois Steeplechase runs the second Saturday in May and half the city dresses up to stand in a field in Percy Warner Park. Rain is generous this month, which is why the hills look the way they do and why every outdoor plan has a backup.
Rain arrives about 8 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy.
