Weather in May
Temperature
May signals a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from April's moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C) to a tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C). May nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. 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 quite important for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 during May translates into the following directions:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
