Weather in May
Temperature
The onset of May marks a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a warm 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April to a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C). An average low-temperature of 70°F (21.1°C) is anticipated throughout the nights during May.Heat index
In May, the heat index is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Exhaustion might be the outcome of enduring exposure and continuous activity, with a risk of heat cramps.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
