Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset witnesses a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 75.6°F (24.2°C) in April to a still moderately hot 83.1°F (28.4°C). During May, the average low-temperature is a comfortable 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
The average heat index in May is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Remaining active during long-lasting exposure could cause fatigue, leading to heat cramps.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. 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 to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
