Weather in May
Temperature
As Dunedin welcomes May, the average high-temperature stabilizes at a still warm 82.4°F (28°C), showing little deviation from April's 77.9°F (25.5°C). Dunedin in May anticipates an average nighttime temperature of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a hot 87.8°F (31°C). If exposure and ongoing activity persist, they might induce a state of tiredness and heat cramps.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
