Weather in May
Temperature
Entering May, Diamondhead notices a subtle temperature elevation, with the average high-temperature advancing from April's 75.6°F (24.2°C) to a still moderately hot 81.7°F (27.6°C). In May, the average low-temperature is an agreeable 69.8°F (21°C).Heat index
In May, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 86°F (30°C). If one sustains activity during exposure, it could lead to a sense of fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
