May in Truro...
This month we pick up 72 minutes of additional daylight, enough to bring temperatures up almost 10 degrees from April.
According to past records, we are told to expect an average temperature to 54°F, with average lows of 46°F and highs of 63°F. We traditionally get a total of 3.6 inches of rain. It's Spring, so with temperatures rising above 50°F plus the rain warming the soil, plant growth starts to accelerate.
Below are some of the activities and events happening about town this month.
