Weather in May
Temperature
A slight uplift of average high-temperatures is noted in May, with temperatures adjusting from a warm 78.1°F (25.6°C) in April to a still moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C). During May, the nighttime temperature averages to a comfortable 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
