Weather in May
Temperature
May comes with a subtle rise, with the average high-temperature adjusting from 78.4°F (25.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C). Throughout May, Brittany witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 66°F (18.9°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. 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 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in May is 10h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
