Weather in May
Temperature
May signifies a subtle uplift in the average high-temperature, adjusting from 74.7°F (23.7°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C). Throughout May, a steady low-temperature average of 64.8°F (18.2°C) is noted.Heat index
During May, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Persisting in activity during exposure could lead to weariness and subsequently to heat cramps.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 particularly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
