The rise in temperature is generally steady, with the nights warming up and the occasional cold spells becoming less frequent.

Rainfall starts to increase slightly but remains relatively low, marking the shift from the dry spring to a wetter summer season.

Wind conditions in May continue to mellow, with winds less severe compared to the preceding months. The weather becomes increasingly predictable and stable, leading to better travel conditions across the country.
