Ahmedabad weather in May

May in Ahmedabad is one of the hottest months of the year, marking the peak of summer with temperatures ranging approximately between 25°C and 43°C. The city experiences intense heat, with afternoons often crossing the 40°C mark, making it one of the least favourable months for outdoor activities. The humidity remains low, but the hot and dry winds, locally known as loo, can make stepping outside during the day quite uncomfortable. The skies remain clear, and the sunlight hours are long, further intensifying the summer effect.

As May is an off-season for tourism, the city sees fewer visitors, with only business travellers and those accustomed to high temperatures choosing to visit. The early mornings and late evenings offer some relief, but overall, the weather remains harsh. Staying indoors during peak afternoon hours is recommended, with air-conditioned spaces providing a much-needed escape from the scorching sun.
