Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May is marked by a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 74.1°F (23.4°C) to a still warm 81.5°F (27.5°C). Throughout May, an average nighttime temperature of 60.8°F (16°C) is experienced.Heat index
May's mean heat index is estimated at a hot 86°F (30°C). A sense of exhaustion might occur with extended exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
