Weather in May
Temperature
As May begins, there's a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 80.6°F (27°C) in April to a hot 86.7°F (30.4°C). May nights observe an average temperature dip to a refreshing 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is computed to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
