Weather in May
Temperature
The shift into May is accompanied by a modest temperature increase, with the average high-temperature edging up from 77.2°F (25.1°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.4°F (29.1°C). The nighttime temperature, during May, averages of 67.3°F (19.6°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
