Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival signals a subtle increase in average high-temperatures, moving from April's 73.9°F (23.3°C) to a still moderately hot 81.9°F (27.7°C). May brings with it a nighttime average temperature of 61.2°F (16.2°C).Heat index
May's heat index is estimated at a hot 86°F (30°C). With extended exposure and activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
