Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May witnesses a small shift in the average high-temperature, moving from 78.6°F (25.9°C) in April to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). Cancienne's nighttime temperature during May is consistently averaged at a refreshing 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
May's heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. 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 quite important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
