Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May introduces a subtle increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 77.4°F (25.2°C) to a still moderately hot 84.6°F (29.2°C). During May, the temperature is averaged to a low of 65.3°F (18.5°C) at night.Heat index
For May, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
