Weather in May

May's arrival registers an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C), closely aligning with the temperature of the previous month. During May, the average low-temperature is an agreeable 72°F (22.2°C).Heat index
The average heat index in May is calculated to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). If one continues to be active during exposure, it might cause tiredness and subsequent heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
