Weather in May
Temperature
May introduces a marginal temperature uplift, with average high-temperatures adjusting from April's pleasant 73°F (22.8°C) to a moderately hot 80.8°F (27.1°C). Throughout May, an average low-temperature of 60.6°F (15.9°C) is experienced.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). Persistently participating in activities during exposure may lead to fatigue and induce heat cramps.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.

Sunshine

May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: A maximum high UV index of 6 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
