Weather in May
Temperature
The shift into May is characterized by a subtle rise in the average high-temperature, transitioning from April's 77.5°F (25.3°C) to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). An average nighttime temperature of 66.9°F (19.4°C) is observed during May.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in May is 9.7h.UV index
May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in May interprets into the following recommendations:
Take precautions and adopt sun safety practices. Protection against sunburn is obliged. During the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., UV radiation is highest. Try to avoid direct sunlight during these hours. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
