May weather forecast
Turkmenistan

May in Turkmenistan marks the transition from spring to the hot, arid summer. Temperatures throughout the country begin to climb significantly, particularly in the interior regions. In the northern city of Daşoguz, average temperatures fluctuate between 16°C (60.8°F) and 28°C (82.4°F), indicative of the warming trend.

In the south, the weather turns even warmer. Ashgabat experiences average temperatures ranging from 18°C (64.4°F) to 31°C (87.8°F), presenting a marked increase from April's milder climate. Turkmenbashi on the Caspian Sea sees temperatures varying between 16°C (60.8°F) and 26°C (78.8°F), the coastal influence moderating the otherwise increasing heat.

May typically witnesses a decline in precipitation levels across Turkmenistan, signaling the onset of the arid summer period. The country-wide average rainfall drops to less than 20mm (0.79"), and in many areas, particularly in the Karakum Desert, the levels are even lower.

Compared to April, May exhibits a distinct shift towards hotter conditions, marking the end of the moderate spring season. The increase in temperature is a precursor to the extreme heat experienced during the peak summer months of June, July, and August, making May the gateway to Turkmenistan's hot, arid summer.
