Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset is marked by a subtle temperature increase, moving from a moderately hot 77.9°F (25.5°C) in April to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). The nighttime temperature during May displays a significant divergence from daily peaks, averaging at a comfortable 63.1°F (17.3°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
