What May feels like
The saguaros put white crowns on in May, which is worth planning around — the flowers open at night and close by afternoon, so go early. School lets out, the pools open, and the long dry wait before the storms begins in earnest.
Real rain shows up maybe one day all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. Most afternoons push past 90°.
