Weather in May
Temperature
The shift into May brings a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 74.1°F (23.4°C) in April to a still moderately hot 81.5°F (27.5°C). The nighttime temperature, during May, averages of 60.8°F (16°C).Heat index
In May, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). If one remains active during constant exposure, it might cause exhaustion and heat cramps.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
