Weather in May
Temperature
A soft shift in the average high-temperature is noticeable in May, transitioning from 74.8°F (23.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C). In May, the recorded average low-temperature is an enjoyable 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Long-lasting exposure and activity potentially induce a sense of weariness, with the risk of heat cramps.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. 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 are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
