As the wet season progresses, the humidity continues to rise, leading to a warmer and stickier atmosphere. However, the northeast trade winds continue to offer some respite, though their intensity begins to diminish.

Major cities, including Majuro and Kwajalein, follow these general weather trends with increased rainfall and stable temperatures. Majuro, owing to its slightly protected position, may experience marginally higher humidity compared to the more exposed areas of the country.

Compared to April, May experiences a slight increase in rainfall as the wet season intensifies. The temperature remains consistent, though the rising humidity might make it feel warmer. As the Marshall Islands transition into June, the wet season reaches its peak, with June and July being the rainiest months of the year.

While May doesn't hold any records for being the hottest or the most rain-filled month of the year, it's notable for the continuing progression of the wet season, which influences the weather patterns significantly across the country.
