Weather in May
Temperature
The beginning of May signals a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving from 75.7°F (24.3°C) in April to a still warm 84°F (28.9°C). In May, the recorded average low-temperature is an enjoyable 63.1°F (17.3°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to 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.
