Weather in May
Temperature
The onset of May introduces a subtle rise in the average high-temperature, nudging from a warm 77.2°F (25.1°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.6°F (29.2°C). During May, Half Chance notes a substantial drop from the daytime peak to an average minimum temperature of 62.4°F (16.9°C).Heat index
In May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.

Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
