May weather forecast
Brunei

May stands as a pinnacle of Brunei's dry season, reinforcing the patterns set by April but with added intensity. This month further cements its position in the dry spell, showing a continuing decrease in precipitation. Rainfall, though sparse, is often manifested in short, intense bursts, particularly in the form of peak thunderstorms which characterize this period.

Temperature-wise, May is unyielding in its warmth. Values generally fluctuate between 24°C (75.2°F) and an impressive peak of 36°C (96.8°F). This month, in particular, witnesses some of the year's highest temperatures, making it one of the most sweltering periods in Brunei. In comparison to April, May demonstrates a marginal but noticeable increase in heat, especially during daytime hours.

The progression from April to May signals an entrenched phase of the dry season, with May experiencing lesser rainfall and even clearer skies. These conditions amplify solar heating, making the days particularly hot and underscored by high humidity levels, resulting in an often stifling atmosphere.

Banda Seri Begawan, as Brunei's urban nucleus, continues its pattern of registering marginally higher temperatures than peripheral regions. This distinction, though subtle, underscores the heat retention capacity of urbanized zones, further intensifying the effects of the dry season.

Wind patterns in May, mirroring those of the preceding month, are characterized by their calm disposition. Typically, wind speeds remain confined between 7.4km/h (4.6mph) and 8km/h (5mph). These gentle winds, combined with the overpowering heat, create a tranquil yet warm atmosphere, making May emblematic of Brunei's quintessential dry season attributes.
