    What’s the weather like in Jamaica in May?

    In the month of May, Jamaica’s warm climate gets hotter and slightly wetter as the rainy season arrives on the island. Although showers are usually short-lived, it’s worth packing a waterproof to stay dry in case of heavy rain. The weather can be quite humid at this time of year, so you’ll need to wear light layers to stay cool and keep hydrated by drinking lots of water.
