Weather in May
Temperature
May comes with a subtle rise, with the average high-temperature adjusting from 74.8°F (23.8°C) in April to a still warm 82.4°F (28°C). A significant drop from the day's peak to an average low-temperature of 60.8°F (16°C) is noted during the nights in May.Heat index
The heat index value during May is estimated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
