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 moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C). May nights present a sharp contrast to daytime highs, with average temperatures of 55.9°F (13.3°C).Heat index

Long-standing exposure and activity could induce a feeling of tiredness and lead to heat cramps.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
