May is when things start to feel properly summery without the crowds. You’re looking at 24 to 26°C most days, with long bright afternoons and hardly any cloud in the south.
The sea warms up enough that swimming feels comfortable. Evenings are mild, you can sit outside late without reaching for a jacket. It’s one of those months where everything feels easy, beaches aren’t packed yet, and the heat hasn’t peaked.
