Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May signals a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 78.6°F (25.9°C) in April to a still warm 85.5°F (29.7°C). Platation Acres's nighttime temperature in May falls to an average of 65.5°F (18.6°C).Heat index
May's heat index is computed to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in May translates into the following recommendations:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
