Weather in May
Temperature
May witnesses a subtle temperature ascent, adjusting from a pleasant 73.2°F (22.9°C) in April to a moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). The mean low-temperature during May nights is a refreshing 60.3°F (15.7°C).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Ongoing activity coupled with exposure often results in weariness and could induce heat cramps.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
