Weather in May
Temperature
May brings a slight increase in the average high-temperature, progressing from a moderately hot 77.9°F (25.5°C) in April to a still warm 83.8°F (28.8°C). An average low-temperature of 68°F (20°C) is recorded in the month of May.Heat index
May's mean heat index is calculated to be a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
