Weather in May
Temperature
The commencement of May brings an average high-temperature of a hot 86°F (30°C), marking an inconsequential divergence from April. An average nighttime temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C) is recorded during May.Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
