May weather forecast
Montserrat

May marks the beginning of a considerable shift in Montserrat's weather, as the island transitions more fully into its wet season. Rainfall during May sees a significant increase compared to April, with precipitation levels rising to approximately 100mm (3.94"). Despite this increase, May's rainfall is still less than the peak levels of the wet season, which typically occur between August and November.

In terms of temperature, May remains warm and tropical, with average temperatures ranging from 26°C (78.8°F) to 29°C (84.2°F). This increase in temperature compared to the earlier months is in line with the island's transition towards the hotter and wetter summer months.

When comparing May to its adjacent months, there is a noticeable increase in rainfall compared to April, and the trend of increasing precipitation continues into June. Similarly, temperatures in May are slightly warmer than in April, with a further increase expected as the island moves into June.

Montserrat's relatively small size and geography result in broadly consistent weather conditions across the island. However, minor variations can occur due to differing altitudes, with the areas around the Soufrière Hills Volcano often slightly cooler due to their higher elevation.

Although May does not hold any extreme weather records for Montserrat, it is notable for its shifting weather patterns, marking the beginning of the wet season. With its warming temperatures and increased rainfall, May offers a lush and vibrant landscape for those visitors who don't mind occasional tropical showers.
