Weather in May
Temperature
May marks a minor ascent in the average high-temperature, adjusting from April's 76.5°F (24.7°C) to a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C). May brings with it a nighttime average temperature of 69.4°F (20.8°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one continues to be active during enduring exposure, it could result in fatigue and heat cramps.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 are particularly important for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
