Weather in May
Temperature
The onset of May brings a minor temperature shift, with the average high-temperature moving from 77°F (25°C) in April to a still warm 83.8°F (28.8°C). Throughout May, the average low-temperature dips to an enjoyable 63.7°F (17.6°C).Heat index
The heat index value during May is evaluated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
