Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May introduces a minor uplift in high-temperatures, adjusting from 77.7°F (25.4°C) in April to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C). During May nights, Melba witnesses a consistent average temperature of 63.7°F (17.6°C).Heat index
The heat index in May is appraised at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
