Weather in May
Temperature
The beginning of May signals a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving from 74.5°F (23.6°C) in April to a still warm 81.9°F (27.7°C). During the month of May, the temperature falls to an average of 63.5°F (17.5°C).Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for 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.
