Weather in May
Temperature
The start of May brings a subtle rise in the average high-temperature, moving from an agreeable 73°F (22.8°C) in April to a warm 80.8°F (27.1°C). An average low-temperature of 60.6°F (15.9°C) is observed during the May nights.Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). Ongoing exposure and activity could lead to a state of exhaustion, with a chance of heat cramps.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
