Bangalore touched 39\u00b0C this week. Chennai’s nights stayed above 30\u00b0C. Hyderabad’s afternoons crossed 41\u00b0C. Yet across the same southern map, eight pockets are still seeing nights drop near or below 18\u00b0C \u2014 some of them within a 5-hour drive of those same metros. We pulled current temperature data for the eight South India destinations our travelers ask about most this time of year, cross-referenced it with on-the-ground inputs from our local hosts, and put it all in one place. If you’re looking for somewhere cool to land before May ends, this is the shortlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nEight South India destinations are still recording May 2026 nights at or below 18\u00b0C \u2014 Ooty (16\u201318\u00b0C), Araku Valley (16\u201319\u00b0C), Kodaikanal (17\u201319\u00b0C), Munnar (17\u201319\u00b0C), Yercaud (17\u201319\u00b0C), Agumbe (17\u201319\u00b0C), Coonoor (17\u201320\u00b0C), and Coorg (18\u201320\u00b0C). The Nilgiri Flower Show (May 15\u201321, Ooty) and Yercaud’s late-May Summer Festival add event-anchored reasons to book this month.
