Weather in May
Temperature
May brings a slight elevation in the average high-temperature, transitioning from April's agreeable 72.5°F (22.5°C) to a moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). In May, the temperature drops to an average of 61.7°F (16.5°C) at night.Heat index
The heat index value during May is calculated to be a hot 86°F (30°C). Prolonged exposure and physical activity might induce exhaustion, potentially causing heat cramps.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. 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.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in May is 76%.Rainfall
In May, the rain falls for 15.3 days. Throughout May, 3.46" (88mm) of precipitation is accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 152.2 rainfall days, and 35.59" (904mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine
The average sunshine in May is 9.3h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in May is 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: In May, the UV index of 6 transforms into the following advice:
Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
