The U.S. temperature outlook for May 2025, showing where the monthly temperature is favored to be much warmer than average (orange and red) or much cooler than average (blues). Darker colors mean higher chances, not more extreme temperatures. White areas mean that there are equal chances for a warm, cool, or near-average May. Much warmer or much cooler than average means "in the upper or lower third" of average May temperatures from 1991-2020.
