Weather in May
Temperature
The start of May is characterized by a subtle increase in the average high-temperature, transitioning from 77.7°F (25.4°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.6°F (29.2°C). Throughout May, the nighttime temperature averages to a comfortable 64.2°F (17.9°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is appraised at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
