Seville in May — Full Picture
May is arguably the most beautiful month — around 27°C/13°C (81°F/55°F) with little rain (about 30mm) and the jacaranda trees in full purple bloom. Warm, sunny, and not yet brutally hot.
There's no single big festival, which keeps it slightly calmer than April while the weather is at its loveliest. Long days mean late, balmy evenings perfect for tapas terraces and riverside walks.
This is the last comfortable month before the summer extremes — outdoor sights like Plaza de España, the Alcázar gardens, and Triana are all enjoyable without the July-August heat. Demand and prices are still high, but below the April festival peak.
Note: by late May the heat starts to build into the 30s°C (high 80s-low 90s°F), so do outdoor sightseeing earlier in the day and keep water on hand.
