Weather in May
Temperature
The shift into May is accompanied by a modest temperature increase, with the average high-temperature edging up from 78.6°F (25.9°C) in April to a still warm 85.5°F (29.7°C). The average low-temperature during May nights is a comfortable 65.5°F (18.6°C).Heat index
In May, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light 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 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
