Budva weather in May

May in Tirana runs warm — around 22°C, with days reaching 25 and occasionally 30, against cool nights near 13 — and the forum calls it dry and warm after a wet, cool April. The rain-day count is less flattering: May comes out among Tirana's wetter months at about thirteen days, barely below April. The reconciliation is the forum's own better line — in the Balkans it rarely rains for a full day, you get a couple of heavy showers and then sun for the rest of it. So plenty of wet days, few days written off. Warm enough for the coast, though the sea may still be too cold for some.

Budva's forum calls July hot and sunny, daily highs over 30°C with nights staying around 20°C or a little above, and rainy or cloudy days genuinely rare. Regulars note the odd thunderstorm can turn up but typically passes within half an hour, usually as a short, intense downpour — the coast is also genuinely crowded by July, with some suggesting Montenegro's mountainous north as a cooler, quieter alternative.
