In May, Jamaica experiences warm and humid weather as the island transitions into the rainy season. Daytime temperatures typically range from 86 to 90°F (30 to 32°C), while nighttime lows stay comfortably between 72 and 77°F (22 to 25°C). Rainfall increases in frequency with afternoon thunderstorms becoming more common, particularly in the mountainous and inland areas. However, coastal regions like Kingston, Montego Bay, and Negril still enjoy plenty of sunshine between passing rain. The humidity is noticeably higher, but the warm Caribbean Sea—averaging around 81 to 83°F (27 to 28°C)—remains inviting for swimming and water activities. ​
