May weather forecast
Angola

May in Angola signals the beginning of the dry season. As the transition from the rainy season concludes, rainfall across the country decreases dramatically. The average temperatures remain warm, typically hovering between 20°C (68°F) to 25°C (77°F). This marks a slight decrease from the hotter months of the rainy season.

In northern regions, including cities like Luanda and Malanje, rainfall is minimal, averaging 30mm (1.18"). The reduced precipitation leads to improved travel conditions, making this an ideal time for outdoor activities and exploration.

Contrastingly, in southern parts of the country, such as Lubango and Namibe, rainfall becomes almost negligible, with averages dropping to less than 10mm (0.39"). These regions continue to exhibit slightly cooler temperatures, generally ranging from 15°C (59°F) to 20°C (68°F).

Coastal regions like Lobito maintain their cooler climate, with average temperatures oscillating between 20°C (68°F) to 25°C (77°F). The moderating influence of the Benguela Current continues to play a significant role in maintaining these lower temperatures along the coast.

Compared to the previous month of April, May sees a further reduction in rainfall and a slight decrease in temperature. As Angola progresses into June, the dry season continues, with even less rainfall and stable, warm temperatures across the country.
