Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival coincides with a subtle temperature rise, moving from April's 74.5°F (23.6°C) to a still warm 81.9°F (27.7°C). During the month of May, the nighttime temperature falls to an average of 61.9°F (16.6°C).Heat index
In May, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Continuous activity in exposure could lead to a feeling of fatigue and heat cramps.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
