High / low are average daily temperatures (°C). “Feels” reflects how hot or cold it feels, allowing for humidity.
St. George’s & West Coast (Grand Anse, Point Salines)
May brings the gradual increase toward the rainy season: humidity rises and showers become more frequent, usually brief and intense in late afternoons. The Grand Anse shoreline still offers long swim windows but boat operators may cancel trips if easterly squalls develop; prices often start to soften. Spiciness of the island cuisine is a joy after a wet hike to Annandale Falls-bring water-resistant footwear for muddy paths.
Northern & Atlantic Coast (Levera, Sauteurs, Levera National Park)
May marks the move toward the wetter months; showers grow more frequent and the Atlantic surf starts to pick up again with scattered squalls passing through. Rain-boosted streams can swell and make some coastal paths slippery, though birdwatchers enjoy the lush return of greenery. Travelers should check local boat schedules-sea conditions can change quickly-and carry a waterproof daypack.
Central Highlands & Grand Etang (Grand Etang Forest Reserve, Mount St. Catherine)
May increases humidity and thunderstorm likelihood in the highlands as the wet season approaches; morning cloud gives way to heavy afternoon showers that soak the trails. The crater lake at Grand Etang responds with fuller water and deeper colors, rewarding those who schedule hikes in the drier morning windows. Insect repellent becomes essential and plan for slower travel on muddy back roads.
Carriacou & Petite Martinique (Sandy Bay, Hillsborough)
May marks the start of the wetter half of the year with more frequent afternoon showers, though Carriacou often experiences less intense rainfall than Grenada’s windward side. The shallow bays refill and coastal mangroves flourish; boat operators still work around showers but start to run more conservatively. Travelers should be flexible-bring rain gear-and enjoy quieter beaches as crowds thin.
