With a lack of rainfall, unusually low humidity, and an abundance of sunny pleasant days, the majority of May's days were optimal for outside activities. The month did come in cooler than average by 0.8 degrees at Albany, the first cooler than average month since June 2022. But the perception for most was that May was mild. And since more days came in with high temperatures that were warmer than average versus cooler than average, that makes sense. May's cold bias came at night with most nights coming in with below average low temperatures. This was due largely to numerous clear nights coupled with the prevalence of dry air which lead to frequent optimal radiational cooling conditions and subsequent big temperature drops. In fact five days at Albany came in with a minimum temperature that fell into the 30s with an unusually cold morning on the 18th which resulted in widespread frost and freezing conditions with vegetation damage reported in a number of locations.
