You can see this years temps here on Accuweather (https://www.accuweather.com/en/gr/mathraki/2281320/may-weather/2281320?year=2019), then if you change the year to 2018 you will see it was a lot hotter then. I think it was Lesley on here who lives there that said Mathraki was best for the weather for AS.

 We always go that time- well have for the past 22 years and it is usually in the high 70s to 80s.
Last year we had a flukey early few days with hail and rain but it was brilliant after.

The weather during May is normally pleasant and can be warm mid 20's so ideal for walking too as well as beach activities.  The island has amazing wild flowers at this time of the year and also the nightly show of spectacular fireflies.  I would always suggest warmer clothing for evenings which can be cooler. You may also get some rain but doesn't normally last long.  As my birthday falls in the 3rd week of May I can always remember it is warm enough for outdoor dining as we have a BBQ each year.  I use Meteo.gr for weather forecast and then put in Agios Stefanos Avliotes NW Corfu for a forecast via Google.......

Hi we also go in May usually the middle two weeks it's usually a mix of lovely hot days and a few thundery shower days, the village is great at this time of year as everything is still relatively quiet which we like
You will have a great time😀

Are the sunbeds on the beach in May. Also are the taverna s all open.  We like to eat at Zorbas a couple of nights and wondered if the dancing would have started then.. We hope to come 10th/24 th May staying at the Barras. See by the forum  quite a  few regulars will be there in May. We were there late September last year. We managed to catch the storm, so had no water or elec for a few hours that night. Never puts us off though.

The sun beds start going out in the first week in May it doesn't. Take long for them all to appear, last year zorbas opened for the first week but closed again during a couple of stormy days , dancing recommended in the second week😀

Yes last there was some real freak bad weather the first week in May but we just caught the end of it.
The only place not open when we arrived was Thomas Bay who opened on about 18th.

A friend of ours stays there every year -first 2 weeks in May.
A bit too steep a climb on a regular basis for us I am afraid.
