Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset brings a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving from an agreeable 72.9°F (22.7°C) in April to a warm 80.6°F (27°C). In the month of May, the average temperature dips to a refreshing 60.4°F (15.8°C) during the night.Heat index
The heat index in May is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). Prolonged activity during exposure might result in a state of fatigue and cause heat cramps.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.

Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
