Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May coincides with an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.2°F (27.9°C), indicating a minimal shift from April's 77.7°F (25.4°C). An average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is observed during May nights.Heat index
The heat index value for May is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Prolonged activity during exposure might result in a state of fatigue and cause heat cramps.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
