Weather in May
Temperature
The average high-temperature mildly increases in May, edging from a moderately hot 73.9°F (23.3°C) in April to a still warm 81.5°F (27.5°C). An average minimum temperature of 61.3°F (16.3°C) marks the month of May.Heat index
For May, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). If one sustains activity during exposure, it could lead to a sense of fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for 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.
