Weather in May
Temperature
The onset of May brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 85.1°F (29.5°C), nearly matching the April temperature. In May, the temperature drops to an average of 68.9°F (20.5°C) at night.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
