Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival coincides with a subtle temperature rise, moving from April's 76.5°F (24.7°C) to a still moderately hot 83.5°F (28.6°C). The month of May records an average low-temperature of 63.7°F (17.6°C).Heat index
During May, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 91.4°F (33°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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.
