Weather in May
Temperature
A soft shift in the average high-temperature is noticeable in May, transitioning from a pleasant 72.5°F (22.5°C) in April to a warm 80.8°F (27.1°C). An average low-temperature of 61.3°F (16.3°C) is expected during May.Heat index
The heat index value for May is computed to be 84.2°F (29°C). Prolonged activity during exposure might result in a state of fatigue and cause heat cramps.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values remain especially vital 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.
