Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May signals a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 75°F (23.9°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C). May nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 61.9°F (16.6°C).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Long-standing exposure and activity could induce a feeling of tiredness and lead to heat cramps.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
