Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset sees an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C), exhibiting a slight fluctuation from the previous month. A minor drop in temperature is observed from daytime highs during the nights of May, averaging a still warm 75.9°F (24.4°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is evaluated at a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.

The months with the highest UV index are May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: In May, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
