Weather in May
Temperature
The start of May signals a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from an agreeable 73°F (22.8°C) in April to a moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C). Nighttime temperatures in May average to a mild 60.6°F (15.9°C).Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). If activity and exposure persist, they could induce fatigue, leading to possible heat cramps.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
