Part of Ooty Weather 2026 Series
May is peak tourist season in Ooty. It coincides with the summer holidays and the famous Ooty flower show period, so the hill station becomes lively and busy. Despite the rush, the weather remains the main attraction compared to the hot cities in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
Typical daytime temperatures range between 18°C and 24°C, and nights are comfortably cool at around 12°C to 15°C. Afternoons are pleasant for outdoor sightseeing, while evenings are perfect for lake walks and garden visits.
If you are planning a May 2026 trip to Ooty, make all bookings – hotel, cab and toy train tickets – well in advance. Carry light layers and comfortable walking footwear.
