From the dreaded rain-filled weekends to skipping over puddles at 7am on your way to work it comes as no surprise that May is our best month of the year. OK maybe July or August will suffice for the beach goers. But its agreeable once the rainy weeks of April are over May opens the door to some pretty amazing weather.
