Weather in May
Temperature
The onset of May brings a minor temperature shift, with the average high-temperature moving from 76.1°F (24.5°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C). Theodore, during the nights of May, experiences an average temperature drop to a pleasant 68.7°F (20.4°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is estimated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). If one continues to be active during exposure, it might cause tiredness and subsequent heat cramps.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
