Weather in May
Temperature
With the start of May, the average high-temperature marginally shifts from April's agreeable 72.7°F (22.6°C) to a moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C). May nights experience a consistent temperature drop to a moderate 60.4°F (15.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value during May is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). With unrelenting exposure and activity, one might experience exhaustion, leading to potential heat cramps.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
