Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May introduces a subtle increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 75.6°F (24.2°C) to a still warm 81.9°F (27.7°C). Throughout the month of May, the average temperature dips to a pleasant 69.6°F (20.9°C) at night.Heat index
In May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Uninterrupted exposure and activity might result in fatigue, potentially causing heat cramps.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
