Weather in May
Temperature
The start of May signals a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 77.7°F (25.4°C) in April to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). Bon Ami reports an average low-temperature of 65.5°F (18.6°C) during the nights of May.Heat index
May's heat index is computed to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: The maximum daily UV index, 7 in May, converts into the following recommendations:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
