May weather forecast
Aruba

May in Aruba symbolizes the full embrace of the summer season. There's a notable surge in temperatures, distinguishing this month from its predecessors. With lows still lingering around 26.7°C (80.1°F), the highs progressively climb, reflecting the intensifying warmth of the approaching peak summer.

Taking into account the island's uniform climate, Oranjestad remains a reliable indicator of weather patterns for the entirety of Aruba. However, a distinction in weather experience is still discernible between the coastal zones and the island's interior. The coast benefits from the moderating effects of sea breezes, which often temper the daytime heat, while the interior regions bear the brunt of the escalating temperatures.

Despite May's increasing warmth, the familiar easterly winds continue to grace Aruba, usually sustaining speeds above 29.6km/h (18.4mph). These winds provide a respite from the mounting heat, offering breezy intervals throughout the day. As a consequence of these consistent winds, the island continues to attract enthusiasts of wind-powered water sports.

While May still belongs to Aruba's dry season, it marks a subtle transition, with a slight uptick in rainfall compared to April. Though showers remain sporadic and brief, the possibility of rain becomes more apparent, heralding the onset of the wetter months ahead.

The surrounding Caribbean Sea in May remains as inviting as ever, with temperatures oscillating between 26.1°C (79°F) and 28.9°C (84°F). These conducive water conditions continue to promote marine activities, ranging from leisurely dips to adrenaline-fueled water adventures.

Contrasting May with the upcoming month of June, it's evident that May acts as a prelude to the intense summer heat. The island begins to bask in longer daylight hours, with abundant sunshine and predominantly clear skies. Despite the warmth, May's conditions remain pleasant enough, especially during the early part of the month, to engage in outdoor activities and explore the island's many attractions.
