Weather in May
Temperature
The beginning of May signals a minor rise in the average high-temperature, moving from 76.8°F (24.9°C) in April to a still moderately hot 83.8°F (28.8°C). Nighttime temperature dips to a mean of 63.1°F (17.3°C) during May.Heat index
Throughout May, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.

Sunshine

In May, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: In May, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear.
