Weather in May
Temperature
The average high-temperature mildly increases in May, edging from a warm 77.2°F (25.1°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.6°F (29.2°C). Octagon's average low-temperature of 62.4°F (16.9°C) in May reflects a considerable decline from the daytime peak.Heat index
In May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
