What's the Weather like in La Zenia in May

The Costa Blanca, where the resort of La Zenia is located, is a stretch of white, sandy beaches that are bathed in sunlight. However, its year-round temperate weather and soft breeze are both a blessing and a curse, as this coast is filled with resorts and hotels that swell with visitors all summer long. However, May's weather is the perfect preview of the summer temperatures to come, without the crowds that arrive in the hot summer months.

Precipitation

May in La Zenia is about sunshine. Similar to the upcoming months of June and July, there is a 75% chance that a given day will be sunny. Historically, May has an average 5 wet days during the month, with average precipitation of 29 mm, down from 34 mm in April. At the end of May, and through June, July and August, Le Zenia will see less precipitation, making for a dry climate day in and day out.

Sunshine

Days become longer throughout the month of May, and the later sunsets and earlier sunrises mean visitors have more time to enjoy the beach at La Zenia. There are an average 10 hours of daily sunlight in May, which means that sun worshipers are in for a wonderful holiday in La Zenia.

Temperature

Temperatures continue to rise throughout May. The average temperature reaches a desirable 20°C (68°F), which is finally warm enough to truly enjoy the sun, sand and outdoors of southern Spain. As the days at the end of May turn towards summer weather, midday heat means the average high temperature to 23°C (73°F). While lower temperatures before sunrise and after sunset mean the average low temperature 13°C (55°F).

Sea Temperature

Sea temperatures average 17°C (63°F) in May, which is finally comfortable for swimming, but most visitors who want to participate in water sports will still want to arrange for a wet suit. Next, as spring turns to summer, the Mediterranean Sea becomes even more suitable for beachgoers and swimmers.
