What's the Weather Like in Kerala in May

Temperature

The temperatures decrease slightly and the volume of rainfall increases in KeralaIndia, in May, when the monsoon season is just around the corner. It's still incredibly hot, though, with an average daily temperature of 29°C, the same as it was in April. In the afternoon, the mercury rises to an average high of 32°C, while in the evenings, it drops to an average low of 25°C, ideal for enjoying some pleasant evening strolls. Those average highs and lows decrease slightly in the course of the month.

Sea Temperature

The sea temperature still remains as high as ever throughout the month and averages 30°C.

Daylight Hours

Kerala is located near the equator and this is why the length of the days remains basically constant throughout the year. In May as well, the day lengths don't vary much. May 1 is the shortest day with 12.28 daylights hours; May 31 is the longest with 12.40 hours of daylight.

Cloud

Just as in April, cloud cover increases gradually in the course of the month. The percentage of cloud cover rises from 52% in the beginning of the month to 70% at the end, quite a big increase.

Rainfall

This very noticeable increase in cloud cover is also responsible for much more rainfall. The total amount of rainfall has almost doubled compared with the previous month and now reaches 216mm, spread out over 17 days with precipitation. This makes May the fourth wettest month of the year in terms of total rainfallfter JuneJuly and October. The probability that it will rain increases in the course of the month, from 46% on May 1 to 67% on May 31.

Thunderstorms are the most common type of precipitation, occurring on 50% of the days with rainfall. Moderate rain comes in second, observed on 27% of the rainy days. Light rain, drizzle and heavy rain may happen as well, but aren't as likely.

Sunshine

Not only rainfall is the result of more cloud cover; less sunshine is as well. A day in May has 7 hours of sunshine on average. This still means, however, that more than half of an average day is sunny in Keralaot bad for a tropical destination right before the monsoon season.
