Weather in May
Temperature
The onset of May marks a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 77.2°F (25.1°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.4°F (29.1°C). Scott reports an average low-temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C) during the nights of May.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is appraised at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
