Weather in May
Temperature
As May arrives, a slight rise in the average high-temperature is observed, moving from a moderately hot 76.6°F (24.8°C) in April to a still warm 83.8°F (28.8°C). In Georgetown, May nights witness a steady temperature drop to a refreshing 63.1°F (17.3°C).Heat index
In May, the average heat index is evaluated at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are extremely significant for 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.
