mid-May
Around the fifteenth
Mid-May is the middle portion of May, roughly the 10th through the 20th.
It marks late spring in the Northern Hemisphere, when gardens are planted and academic years wind down: We're planning a mid-May wedding.
Like similar compounds (mid-January, mid-July), it identifies a time frame more specific than "May" but less precise than an exact date.
