Weather in May
Temperature
May's weather records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 85.5°F (29.7°C), showing little deviation from April. Throughout May, a steady low-temperature average of 69.1°F (20.6°C) is noted.Heat index
May's average heat index is estimated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a 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. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Continue precautions and advocate sun safety advice. Deterrence of sunburn is indispensable. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
