Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May signals a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 77.4°F (25.2°C) in April to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). In the month of May, Coopers records a consistent average low-temperature of 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
The heat index in May is estimated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
