Weather in May
Temperature
The advent of May signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a hot 86.4°F (30.2°C), aligning closely with April. In May, the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
The heat index value during May is estimated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
