What May feels like
Locals start the summer routine now — errands before nine, dog walks after dark, and a hand pressed to the pavement before letting a dog anywhere near it. Graduations and the last of the good patio evenings crowd into the first couple of weeks.
Rain is genuinely rare — most years, May stays dry start to finish. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. Most afternoons push past 90°.
