Weather in May
Temperature
The start of May signals a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 74.8°F (23.8°C) in April to a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C). During the nights in May, the temperature averages to a comfortable 62.2°F (16.8°C).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Prolonged exposure and physical activity might induce exhaustion, potentially causing heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. 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.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
