Weather in May
Temperature
As May begins, there's a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 74.1°F (23.4°C) in April to a still warm 81.7°F (27.6°C). During the May nights, an average temperature of 60.4°F (15.8°C) is observed.Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is appraised at a hot 86°F (30°C). If exposure and activity are sustained, they might cause a feeling of weariness, resulting in heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
