Aruba in May is warm and sunny, with average daytime temperatures around 86–90°F (30–32°C) and nighttime temperatures around 78°F (26°C). It’s one of the driest months, with little rainfall and low humidity thanks to the constant trade winds. The ocean is warm, around 81°F (27°C), making it great for swimming and water activities.

May is outside the hurricane season, so the weather is generally stable. Aruba is also outside the hurricane belt, so there’s little risk of major storms. The island’s trade winds provide a steady breeze, keeping things comfortable.
