Hotting up nicely although you may still need a sweater or cardi for late evenings

I think May is the best month to holiday - lovely sunny days and cooler at night. We used to always book the first week and although you can get some pretty heavy rain, we don't ever remember it when we were on holiday. From May things start to get hotter and hotter, till July and August when going outside from your airconned room is like sticking your head in the oven, and that's 24 hours a day.

We've been going in May for the last few years now and it can be one of the best times of year to go, lovely warm days not too hot to walk about in and spend your days on the beach or by a pool, often warm evenings too to sit and drink and eat outside. But, it can also be quite cool in an evening so you do need to go prepared with a jumper/cardigan/thin fleece. We also take fold up showerproof jackets, easy to pack in case of rain, and it can rain in May!
But as long as you're aware and prepared for it you'll be fine, and it can't be that bad we're back again 9th to 26th May this year and hoping for 16 days of glorious sunshine ;D 8)

We too come end of May beginning of June. May is a nice time of year Also the Calis Beach Carnival is usually last week in May, so you may be luck enough to be there at this time when lots of things are going on. Check their thread on this Forum every so often and you will see the dates announced.

we love May too, never been fortunate to try June (oh just realised I did last year as the May half term holiday was moved to June for the jubilee) and it was lovely (apart from the earthquake though I now think that was fate and I was meant to experience that, everything for a reason in this life!! ;))
We are mulling over our summer plans as I seriously dont think I can do another August now I am knocking on it is just tooooooo hot for me 8)

thanks to everyone for replying, we did stay at calis in august for 3 weeks in 2009 and it was scorching sunshine everyday and my wife loved it! 8)

Sunshine maybe, but far too hot for me, can't enjoy it the same when it's so hot :o
-
Yes I totally agree - July and August are punishingly hot. Sitting in a bar at 2am with sweat dripping down the back of your ear isn't my idea of fun. We went to Portugal in July last year and actually felt cold in the evening!

I know what you mean we are normally tucked up in bed with the aircon on at 2 in the morning waiting for the glorious sun to rise again.

We always go the last week in May/first week of June, it's always very hot during the day, a little cooler in the night, best time of year I think.

I think they may have been and gone by now... ;)
