Remember:
The climate in Nicaragua in may ranges from good to bad depending on the region and city.

May is not the best month to travel to in Nicaragua. The weather everywhere is ok but correct: in Siuna, Bilwi, Granada, Solentiname islands, Mombacho Volcano National Park, León, Matagalpa, Ometepe Island, Bluefields, San Juan del Sur, Managua, Masaya and Rivas. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain regularly.
