Willi was present for the worst year for heavy rain in nearly 20 years.
May is
NOT, I repeat, NOT a typically raining month in PA(April often is,
though). I
can remember several seasons with NO significant rain in May.

May is the transition month from Spring to Summer in PA, much like October
can be from Summer to Fall. As Tom stated it can really vary. It can be
the wettest month of the year, and I've also seen it 80 degrees and dry
(although PA will never live up to "Colorado Dry"). I would say that it
tends to be in the 60's most days, with temps spiking to the 70s if the Sun
stays out for a while. We've seen 50s-60s the last few years, but I don't
believe that is the norm. Layers, Layers, Layers, with some sort of raingear
is the way to go. With that Swedish blood you should be able get by with a
few less layers.

I use to say that regardless of the weather you can always find fish
somewhere close by but I'm not sure I want to claim that anymore after
watching 40 ROFFians scramble into the "mountains" (excuse me Jeff) looking
for small native Brookies and Brownies (although rumor has it we did pry a
few out from under the rocks). If you really want to see dry weather, plan
your trip for the week before, or week after the Clave.
