Weather in May
Temperature
As April transitions into May, a subtle temperature shift is observed, with average highs adjusting from a warm 74.8°F (23.8°C) to a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C). May is characterized by a distinct thermal shift, with nighttime lows averaging at an enjoyable 60.8°F (16°C).Heat index
The average heat index in May is evaluated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. 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.
