What May feels like
May is when Santa Fe becomes itself again — patios open, the acequias run, and the galleries hang new shows for the season. Evenings stay cool enough that every restaurant with outdoor seating also owns heaters, which tells you what to pack.
Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry.
