Weather in May
Temperature
With the start of May, the average high-temperature marginally shifts from April's moderately hot 76.8°F (24.9°C) to a still warm 84.2°F (29°C). May presents a pronounced difference from daytime highs, with a consistent average low-temperature of 62.2°F (16.8°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
