Would like to go somewhere at the beginning of May, that's not outrageously expensive, that has an average temp of 25c -any ideas pse ??

The Canaries are a short flight and good temperatures - try onthebeach

I'd agree with Crapatcryptics - The Canaries are a 4 hour flight away, no time difference and beautiful weather & scenery. BA do some great deals for flights plus hotel.

Canaries May average is 20c
Cyprus is 24c west coast with other parts higher

>>>Canaries May average is 20c

That's a bit misleading. The 'average' temperature, across a typical 24-hour period, is indeed around 20C but that's not what the weatherman refers to when telling us about what the weather will be like. He/she always uses the expected maximum daytime temperature (probably because not many people want to go on the beach at 3am!), which is typically 23C in Tenerife in May, or 25C in Lanzarote:

It's only slightly warmer in Larnaca, Cyprus, with a typical maximum daytime temperature of 26C:

Flights to the Canaries are plentiful all year round but there's far less choice (and generally considerably higher prices) for flights to Cyprus, especially outside of the peak summer season.

For a 'budget' holiday at that time of the year (with plenty of warm sun), the Canaries and Cyprus are the only two real options, unless you're prepared to risk Egypt, which will have loads of bargains next year:

The only other alternative (where you might get some reasonably priced deals) is The Gambia:

We were in Sharm when the Russian plane came down - our return flight was the day before UK flights were suspended. Adored the place and hotel but very reluctant to return at the moment. It was our first AI experience and we had a fantastic holiday so are looking for a similar experience next May. AI recommendations for the Canary Islands anyone ??

We went to Malta last May. I loved it. The temp was in the early 30s most days.
