Weather in May
Temperature
May brings a slight elevation in the average high-temperature, transitioning from April's 78.4°F (25.8°C) to a still warm 85.3°F (29.6°C). An average low-temperature of 66°F (18.9°C) is common during the nights of May.Heat index
The average heat index in May is appraised at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In May, a daily UV index of 7 turns into the following recommendations:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
