    What’s the weather like in Corfu in May?

    Corfu’s the second largest Ionian island, and sits off the northwest coast of Greece. The island enjoys a fairly typical Mediterranean climate of long, hot summers, so it’s nice and warm in May. You'll get lots of sunshine at this time while rain’s reducing after the wetter spring. You'll love holidays to Corfu in May if you prefer cooler temperatures and less crowds compared to the peak of summer.

    Climatic influences

    Corfu’s high mountains have a big impact on the weather, and they mean it gets more rain that other Greek islands. There’s less rain as May goes on, but you'll find lovely green scenery because of it. Breezes will keep you cool on the coast, which are welcome when it gets really hot. Humidity levels can be quite high in May, which means there’s the occasional thunderstorm, although these quickly clear.

    Averages

    The average high temperature in Corfu during May is 23ºC, so make sure you pack your beach gear. Don't forget to bring some warmer clothes for the evenings though as things can get quite cool. The average sea temperature’s 21ºC, while humidity’s low and ranges from the mid-50s to just over 90%. Average rainfall’s 47mm over the course of nine days with some rain.

    Daylight

    During May you can expect 14 hours of daylight with nine hours of sunshine each day. Take care of your skin in the sun as UV levels will be very high, while sunset’s around 8.30pm at the beginning of May and gradually gets later as the month goes on.
