Weather in May
Temperature
The transition into May reveals an average high-temperature of a still warm 83.8°F (28.8°C), mirroring a close resemblance to April. A minor drop in temperature is observed from daytime highs during the nights of May, averaging a still warm 76.1°F (24.5°C).Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in May leads to these recommendations:
Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
