Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May introduces a subtle increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 73.6°F (23.1°C) to a still warm 81.5°F (27.5°C). Throughout May, an average nighttime temperature of 61.3°F (16.3°C) is experienced.Heat index
The heat index value for May is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). If one sustains activity during exposure, it could lead to a sense of fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
