Hot weather in May means keeping cool is the priority. Loose-fitting clothes in natural fabrics work best. Pack plenty of shorts, tank tops, and breathable shirts. Don't forget a hat, swimwear, and comfortable sandals. With minimal rainfall expected, you can leave the rain gear at home. Don't forget sun protection, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat. These are all good ideas with this much sunshine.
