Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May introduces a subtle increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 76.6°F (24.8°C) to a still warm 83.7°F (28.7°C). In May, the temperature drops to an average of 62.4°F (16.9°C) at night.Heat index
The heat index in May is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Continued exposure and engagement in activity might trigger tiredness and subsequently heat cramps.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
