Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May signals a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 73.9°F (23.3°C) in April to a still warm 81.5°F (27.5°C). Throughout May, Socapatoy records an average temperature of 60.3°F (15.7°C) at night.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is estimated at a hot 86°F (30°C). If exposure and ongoing activity persist, they might induce a state of tiredness and heat cramps.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
