Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset witnesses a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from 77.2°F (25.1°C) in April to a still warm 84.2°F (29°C). An average low-temperature of 63.5°F (17.5°C) marks the month of May.Heat index
May's average heat index is evaluated at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
