Weather in May
Temperature
The beginning of May records an average high-temperature of a tropical 86°F (30°C), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. During May, the nighttime temperature averages of 67.6°F (19.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value for May is computed to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
