Porto Moniz in May

May in Porto Moniz: average highs of 18°C, lows of 17°C and 13 hours of sunshine a day. A starting point for planning around the historical weather.

May in Porto Moniz, Portugal, brings average daily highs of 18°C and overnight lows of 17°C in the 2016–2025 historical record. Pack clothes you can layer as conditions change. The average leaves room for both warmer and cooler days, so a flexible walking plan is more useful than deciding every outdoor stop before you arrive.

In the record, at least 1 mm of rain or snow falls on 5 of 31 days on average, a daily chance of 15%. Leave some freedom to swap an outdoor day with a sheltered one. There is no need to read the average as a fixed number of lost days; it says nothing about how long rain lasts on each occasion.

The calculated day length, sunrise to sunset, averages about 14 hours. Sunshine averages 13 hours a day. The longer daylight window gives you more choice about when to be outside; it does not mean every part of the day will be sunny. Sunshine is a separate measure, and those hours need not arrive in one uninterrupted stretch.

For nature trips or walks, keep the longest outings movable and check route conditions locally; a monthly climate average cannot establish whether a particular path is accessible. If the coast is part of your plan, check water conditions separately. Air temperature and sunshine do not establish swimming conditions, surf quality or diving visibility.

June has an average daily high of 20°C, 2°C higher than May. Its historical rain-day chance is 8%, compared with 15% this month. If your dates are flexible, compare those trade-offs with the kind of days you want. Neither set of averages predicts the conditions of one particular holiday.
