Da Nang in May

The heat properly arrives. It is still before the rains, so most days are clear, but the midday sun is as strong as midsummer. Split the day: sea in the morning, a cafe or indoor stop at noon, back to the beach near sunset.

Highs averaged 34°C and lows stayed at 26°C, so the heat hung on long after sunset. Out of 31 days, about 4 brought rain; the rest stayed dry. 2 of 20 years had a completely dry May, while 2008 reached 9 rain days.

Highs topped 30°C on 30 days of the month on average. Mixing in indoor stops at midday made sense. May 2015 averaged 36.0°C by day, 2.2°C above the 20-year mean. Each rainy day brought about 20 mm, closer to downpours than drizzle.

Typhoons i No tropical storm passed within 300 km in this month over the last 20 years. Typhoons: July to December
