Weather in May

The average high-temperature mildly increases in May, edging from a pleasant 72.1°F (22.3°C) in April to a moderately hot 80.6°F (27°C). May brings with it a nighttime average temperature of 61°F (16.1°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). Extended exposure and activity might lead to tiredness, potentially resulting in heat cramps.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
