Weather in May
Temperature
The commencement of May sees a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from an agreeable 72.9°F (22.7°C) in April to a moderately hot 81°F (27.2°C). May nights observe an average temperature dip to a mild 59.7°F (15.4°C).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.

Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
