Weather in May

May emerges as the transition period between the wetter and drier seasons. The rainfall now peaks at 240mm (9.45") despite a decline in the number of rainy days. A lowered sea temperature around this time suggests a wider shift in the climate. The slight drop in daylight hours and sun exposure, coupled with increased cloud cover can contribute to the cooler sea conditions. The strong winds are becoming more powerful, assisting in reducing relative humidity.
