Weather in May
Temperature
A slight uplift in the average high-temperature marks May, adjusting from April's warm 76.3°F (24.6°C) to a still moderately hot 84.4°F (29.1°C). Throughout May, an average low-temperature of 64°F (17.8°C) is expected.Heat index
The average heat index in May is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
