Weather in May
Temperature
In May, the meteorological conditions subtly change with the average high-temperature edging from a moderately hot 77°F (25°C) in April to a still warm 83.8°F (28.8°C). In May, the average low-temperature is a refreshing 63.3°F (17.4°C).Heat index
The heat index in May is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time.
