Traveller notes on Hammamet in May
Notes from nearby Tunis (62 km away)
Hammamet doesn't have its own notes for May yet — these are about Tunis, close enough to share the season.
Tunisia's forum calls May one of the best windows to visit — not yet too warm, past winter's cold, good for sightseeing and desert trips. Regulars are candid that May weather is genuinely mixed, capable of rain, thunderstorms, or full sun within the same week, and that the sea stays cool, around 20°C, so it's more a month for exploring than for swimming.
Other months in Hammamet
Hammamet's forum calls July hot, dry and reliably sunny, though one thread specifically flags the early morning as noticeably cooler — low-to-mid 20s°C at 7am — for anyone planning golf or a walk before the day's heat sets in. Regulars note the sea stays warm enough for swimming all day.
