May weather forecast
United States Virgin Islands, USA

May in the United States Virgin Islands is characterized by a deepening of the wet season, with the islands preparing for the more intensified rain patterns ahead. The temperatures in May maintain a range from a comfortable 76°F (24.4°C) during the nighttime hours to a balmy 86°F (30°C) during the day.

Compared to April, May brings with it a tangible escalation in both temperature and humidity levels. As the month progresses, the frequency and intensity of rain showers start to increase, especially during the late afternoons and evenings.

Charlotte Amalie, nestled in Saint Thomas, generally aligns with the climatic changes witnessed throughout the archipelago. However, the urban dynamics and the heat amplifying nature of its harbor might occasionally lead to slightly warmer conditions, particularly in the afternoons.

May represents a distinct departure from the drier months, with rain showers becoming a more common occurrence. These showers, while more frequent, are often brief and can be interspersed with sunny intervals. The seas surrounding the islands remain consistently warm, with temperatures lingering between 82°F (27.8°C) to 84°F (28.9°C), ensuring marine activities are still pleasant and appealing.

The equatorial balance of day and night duration continues to be a staple feature in May. Notably, while the month does signal the islands' transition into the full force of the wet season, it doesn't reach the peak intensity of rain or temperature that is characteristic of the subsequent months in the United States Virgin Islands.
