Weather in May
Temperature
The start of May brings a subtle shift in the average high-temperature, edging up from April's agreeable 72°F (22.2°C) to a warm 80.6°F (27°C). The nighttime temperature, during May, averages of 61.5°F (16.4°C).Heat index
In May, the heat index is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). Prolonged exposure combined with continuous activity could lead to exhaustion, and possibly heat cramps.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.

Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
