Summer warmth

The weather in Sochi in May 2020 can be different if you rely on long-term observations from the Hydrometeorological Center and analyze accurate forecasts over the past few years. Usually in Sochi in May it is warm in summer, although the weather can be unpredictable, with cold snap and frost.

Spring is short due to the subtropical climate of the city. The average air temperature in the last spring month, according to Gismeteo, is + 17 … + 20 C. But more often the air warms up to +25 C and higher.

There are only a few cloudy days in May, the rest of the time is dry and clear. There are thunderstorms that end as quickly as they begin, bringing the desired coolness to the city. However, sometimes in May there is an increased level of humidity due to heavy rainfall, so you also need to be prepared for this.

According to information from the Hydrometeorological Center, the water temperature in May can please residents and guests of the city. If a hot year is issued, it warms up to +18 C, which is already quite comfortable for swimming. The average water temperature in May is +15 C. Some, especially hardened ones, manage to swim in the cool sea.

What the weather will be in Sochi in May 2020, what the expected water and air temperatures will be, we will find out further. Now, a little information about temperature records.

It turns out that the highest temperature in Sochi in May was recorded in 2012, on the 19th, when the thermometers showed +32.9 C. In 1994, also on May 19, the air temperature was recorded at +29.6 C.

Preliminary forecast

AccuWeather promises no heat wave in May. The average daytime temperature in the first decade will be +16 C, at night hours about +12 C. In the second decade it will become warmer, about +20 C during the day and +16 C at night. In the last decade of May, the day and night temperatures will be approximately the same as in the middle of the month.

Both clear days and days with variable cloudiness and rains are expected, although there will be only a few of them in a month.

The weather forecast for Sochi in May 2020 from the Hydrometeorological Center is not yet available on the network. Long-term forecasts are not posted on the site. You can find out the weather only for the next week. It is assumed that preliminary information on the weather from the Hydrometeorological Center and the water temperature will appear in early April.

Let's compare the most accurate forecast for the coming May with the same indicators in May last year. The average daily temperature in 2019 in Sochi was then +22 C, at night +16. For about a week in May, in total, the thermometers showed above +25 C. It was very warm in the second half of the month.
