Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 84.2°F (29°C), nearly identical to April's 82.2°F (27.9°C). May registers an average low temperature of 76.6°F (24.8°C), subtly lower than the daytime maximum.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
