Weather in May
Temperature
As April transitions into May, Orchid records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C), showing a gentle shift from the preceding month. A mean low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is anticipated during the month of May, a slight step down from the daytime high.Heat index
May's mean heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. 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 highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
