Weather in May
Temperature
In May, the average high-temperature marginally rises from a warm 75.4°F (24.1°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.4°F (28°C). An average nighttime temperature of 64°F (17.8°C) is noted during the month of May.Heat index
In May, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
