How warm is it in Mozambique during May?
The temperature reaches around 28℃ during the daytime in May, falling away to 17℃ at night. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Mozambique during May?
On average, in May you'll see rain on just one day in the month. In other words, you shouldn't see any of the wet stuff. You're not likely to see a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Mozambique during May?
No - there is very light air movement in May so conditions should be calm with light breezes at times.
