Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, the average high-temperature subtly transitions from 75°F (23.9°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82°F (27.8°C). May nights experience a consistent temperature drop to an agreeable 69.8°F (21°C).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Continuous exposure and activity could induce a sense of tiredness and subsequently, heat cramps.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.

Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
