The Spiritual Benefits of Performing Umrah in May
Performance of Umrah in May results in various spiritual benefits. Below are some of the spiritual benefits of performing Umrah in May:

May is the off-peak season to perform Umrah. Therefore, there will be a lesser crowd in Makkah and Medina, and you will easily be able to perform the rituals of Umrah.
Chance of Multiple Umrah:

How May Offers a More Peaceful and Less Crowded Experience

In the month of May, the temperature of Saudi Arabia generally falls between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. It means that pilgrims can easily perform the rituals of Umrah. The holy Prophet (PBUH) originally performs these rituals.
2. Comfortable Temperatures for Pilgrims
The temperature of Makkah and Medina in the month of May is pleasant. It allows the pilgrims of Umrah to perform all the rituals, such as Tawaf (anti-clockwise 7 rounds of KAABA). The Sa’i (walking between the mountain hills of Safa and Marwah) and Mina (throwing stones at the devil (shitaan)) are also doable perfectly. All these rituals become impossible to perform when the temperature is too hot. Hence, that’s why in May pilgrims can easily perform the rituals without getting exhausted.
