Zanzibar weather in May

The whole family went on vacation to Tanzania on the island of Zanzibar, because we wanted to surprise both our friends and ourselves. On the one hand, we were really surprised by the incredible nature of the island, we especially liked the beaches with almost white sand and unrealistically blue sea water. On the other hand, for two weeks of rest there was rain, quite heavy rain, real tropical rain. True, the water temperature was suitable for swimming, and the air temperature still remained warm enough that it was possible to swim even in such weather.

Hi all. In May 2023, my wife and I decided to go to an exotic country on vacation - Tanzania, the resort of Zanzibar. We most likely made a mistake with the month, because... In May they have very heavy rains, some downpours. But we still found time to sunbathe and swim. On the day the temperature outside was approx. 30°C, the water is also very warm - approx. 28-29°C. We also went on an excursion along the coasts and islands, it is very beautiful there. Overall, we liked the trip, but it is better not to go there in April and May, when it is the rainy season.
