Weather in May

For May, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
