May, the last month of the spring in Garden City, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature varying between 66.4°F (19.1°C) and 82.2°F (27.9°C).

Temperature

As May begins, there's a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 75.7°F (24.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.2°F (27.9°C). The temperature dips to an average of 66.4°F (19.1°C) during May nights.

Heat index

Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. 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 of high significance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
