Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, Wave observes a minor temperature ascent, with the average high-temperature adjusting from April's moderately hot 73.4°F (23°C) to a still warm 82°F (27.8°C). May nights experience a consistent temperature drop to an enjoyable 61.9°F (16.6°C).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). With ongoing exposure and activity, one might experience weariness, and heat cramps could ensue.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.

Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
