We've looked at the most up-to-date weather data for Andalucia, covering the last 12 years up to 2024, plus we've asked our team of travel bloggers for their first-hand experiences in order to answer the most frequently asked questions about Andalucia weather in May.

How warm is it in Andalucia during May?

The temperature reaches around 27℃ during the daytime in May, falling away to 15℃ at night. 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 Andalucia during May?

On average, there will be 2 rainy days during the month, amounting to 32.5mm in total. That's much drier than we see in England during August, and therefore not something to be concerned about. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.

Is it windy in Andalucia during May?

You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in May. With moderate humidity and mild air temperatures, the breeze will have a slight cooling effect.
