Bermuda in May

[Merrilymeggily]

Can anyone tell me what to expect weather wise when I head to Bermuda in may on the Zenith? Temps? Water temps? Will we be comfortable swimming in the pools and the ocean or snorkeling, laying on the beach? Thanks!

Can't help with the answer, but we're going on May 21 on the Zenith. How about you?

We were in Bermuda in 2003 (May 10 Horizon saling) and the weather was great. Temperatures were in the high 70's/low 80's. Water temps were comfortable - not like bath water, but comfortable. We had no rain at all.

It can be hit or miss. Friends of ours went in mid-May and the weather was very cool. It never got warmer than the low 70's and frequently was in teh mid to high 60's and the water was too cold to swim in. They said next time they'll wait until further into the summer before going.

I have cruised to bermuda three times in May and have never had weather that was cold. According to the locals,May is a great time to go on a cruise to Bermuda as most people who have children and are going to stay on the island itself wait until summer months so the cruisers have the island to themselves. I have always spent time at the beach and managed to get quite the tan and a little burn before coming home.

I have been in May and the weather was great but the water was much too cold for me. I never got wet other than my feet.

May can be "hit or miss"...June usually is wonderful!!!!! Enjoy that beautiful island...we have been there 3 times and just love it!!!!!

We go frequently in May or Sept. Not as many kids on board as in Jun/Jul/Aug.

 

Air temp in May is quite comforatable and no humidity. Water temp was fine for swimming in the ocean, and onboard, it is heated in the pools.

 

May is very lush and green and IMHO "prettier" than Sept particularly if they have had a hot, dry summer.

 

Of course, the later in May you are leaving, the warmer it will be.
