Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May introduces a subtle increase in the average high-temperature, moving from 77.5°F (25.3°C) to a still moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C). In Simpson, May's nights observe an average temperature dip to an enjoyable 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
In May, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 7 in May interprets into the following recommendations:
Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
