Weather in May
Temperature
In Topsy, the onset of May comes with a modest high-temperature shift, transitioning from April's 77.5°F (25.3°C) to a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C). During the month of May, the nighttime temperature falls to an average of 68.4°F (20.2°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is evaluated at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light 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 'real feel' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.

Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
