With the start of May, the average high-temperature marginally shifts from April's pleasant 73.2°F (22.9°C) to a moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). During the month of May, the nighttime temperature falls to an average of 60.3°F (15.7°C).Heat index
The heat index value during May is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Extended exposure and activity might lead to tiredness, potentially resulting in heat cramps.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
