Saint George's Weather in May

May weather in town

May feels warm and sticky in Saint George's, with highs around 28°C and humid air. Rain falls on many days, but showers don't usually rule out a whole day. You can explore the Carenage waterfront, browse the market, or visit Fort George between showers. The views over the harbour are worth the climb, though wet steps can be slippery.

If you're planning a longer walk, avoid setting out for the Seven Sisters Falls trail after heavy rain. The path can turn muddy, and the falls area is less comfortable in a downpour.

Events and local life

May brings Grenada's Labour Day holiday and the Grenada Chocolate Festival, which usually takes place during the month. Festival events can include tastings and visits to cocoa farms, so it's a good time to try local chocolate. Dates and activities can change from year to year.

Travelling with kids? A walk along the Carenage is easy to fit between showers, and you can stop for a roti or fresh juice nearby.

Crowds and costs

May is quieter than Grenada's busier winter months, when many visitors escape colder weather. It's also outside the best stretch for weather, which runs from February to April. You may find a calmer feel around the harbour and more choice of places to stay, with rates often softer than in peak season.

A useful local tip: take a water taxi from the Carenage to Grand Anse Beach. It gives you a scenic harbour crossing, and you can skip the road journey if rain slows traffic. Check the boat service locally, as weather can affect crossings.
