May weather forecast
Djibouti

May in Djibouti is characterized by a substantial increase in temperature, a clear continuation of the country's hot season. The average temperatures tend to range from 30°C (86°F) to 37°C (98.6°F), with coastal areas such as Djibouti City experiencing slightly moderated conditions due to the cooling influence of the sea.

May continues the sustained dry spell that began in March, with average precipitation registering a minimal 10mm (0.39"). The predominantly clear and dry weather is further indicated by approximately 9 hours of sunshine each day, ensuring bright and sunny conditions for the majority of the month.

Compared to April, May experiences a more pronounced escalation in temperature while maintaining similarly arid conditions. This intensifying heat is indicative of the forthcoming peak summer months, with June, July, and August featuring the year's most extreme temperatures. The onset of June further amplifies these trends, marking the true commencement of Djibouti's sweltering summer season.

In alignment with broader national trends, the town of Tadjoura also experiences a significant increase in temperature in May, albeit slightly lower than the national average due to its location surrounded by highlands. Despite this minor variation, the overall climate conditions in Tadjoura largely mirror the general climate patterns of Djibouti during this month.
