Is May a good time to go to Southeast Asia?<\/h2>
Trying to answer the question of whether May is a good time to go to Southeast Asia is not as easy as it first seems. Some people like colder weather, and others prefer a warmer climate. Some are fine with some humidity, and others are not. If your location has air conditioning, the night temperature is less important.
These are some examples. I will try to answer the question with a more generic person in mind. The more detailed information in this article should be enough to check further if this applies to you as well.<\/p>
If we look at the average temperature for Southeast Asia in May, we can see that it will be too hot for a lot of visitors. In May, you can expect it to be quite hot, with an average temperature of around 87\u00b0F \/ 31\u00b0C. But due to the extreme humidity it can feel extremely uncomfortable. During the night, it will be around 77\u00b0F \/ 25\u00b0C.
The number of overcast days is more than 5, but you can still the sun with around 3 sunny days and 14 partly sunny days.
The last aspect we will look at is rain. You can expect around 26 rainy days, with on average 9.9 inches \/ 252 mm of rain during May. More then 5 days rain per month makes the chance higher you will see some rain during a shorter stay. But a day with rain does not mean a day you can not enjoy.
We have looked at the average day temperature, the night temperature, humidity, the number of overcast days, and the rain. We think that May in Southeast Asia is not the most optimal destination. But that doesn't mean it is not a good time for you to go. As said before, each visitor has their own preferences when it comes to the weather.<\/p>

Another way of looking at the rain is the number of sunny days. For Southeast Asia, there are, on average 3 sunny days and 14 partly sunny days in May. That clearly shows that it is not raining all the time.
And, as for many tropical locations, rain can be short and heavy. This applies particularly during the rainy season. It means that the number of days with rain and the amount of rain can be high, but you will still see many lovely days with a short period of heavy rain.<\/p>
