Tell me, we fly to the Azores in mid-May. What will the weather be like there? Will it get sunbathing or buying? Have read about what could be going to be cool at this time. Can you tell me what the weather really is like in May?

Answers Anna Larionova, Insight Travel Company
The weather in the Azores is changeable. In May, it should be already in summer warmth, but here you are never immune from the fact that it may rain or blow the wind. Nevertheless, the water is warm enough for swimming all year round. If there is a sun, then you can swim for sure. But if it shines in the morning - be sure it's not for the whole day, and catch the moment. Sunburn is manifested quickly and after 15 minutes of sun bathing per day, and there is no need to sit all day on the beach.

In general, there are so many interesting things in the Azores that it is especially time to sunbathe.
