Weather in May
Temperature
May comes with a subtle rise, with the average high-temperature adjusting from 74.8°F (23.8°C) in April to a still warm 82.4°F (28°C). The average low-temperature during May nights is a refreshing 61.5°F (16.4°C).Heat index
May's heat index is computed to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). With constant exposure and activity, a state of weariness might ensue, leading to potential heat cramps.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
