Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Influence of rainfall.
The high temperature in May is followed by a decrease in June because the onset of the monsoon brings heavy rainfall. The cooling effect of the rain lowers the temperature, despite the high temperature in May.
Step 2: Cloud cover.
Additionally, cloud cover during the monsoon months (especially June) blocks direct sunlight, which also contributes to the drop in temperature.
