The quickest way I can answer this question is to forward you to a great website provided compliments of the United States Military at http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneYear.php. This site will provide you with a table of sunrise/sunset per day for the requested year at your location, thus giving you a quick way to sum the hours in the month of May where you are. The amount of daylight minutes is dependent on your longitudinal location, and varies daily due to the Earth's movement in orbit (becuase of our tilted axis). There are plenty of websites to explain the sinusoidal pattern that we see. You will notice that the greatest change in daylight/day is during the equinoxes (spring and fall). Hope this is helpful.

Would you find more seasonal changes in the areas between the Tropics or in the Areas North and South of the Tropics?

Seasonal changes are typically more pronounced in areas located farther from the equator, which includes both areas north and south of the Tropics. Regions at higher latitudes experience greater variations in temperature and day length throughout the year, leading to distinct seasons such as winter, spring, summer, and autumn. In contrast, areas between the Tropics generally have more consistent weather patterns and less variation in seasons.
