Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival is noted with a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 77.5°F (25.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 83.8°F (28.8°C). Throughout May, Ritch's nights cool down to an average of 65.1°F (18.4°C).Heat index
During May, the heat index is computed to be a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
