Weather in May
Temperature
The beginning of May marks a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from April's warm 74.3°F (23.5°C) to a still moderately hot 82.2°F (27.9°C). Onward records an average temperature drop to a comfortable 64.4°F (18°C) in May.Heat index
The heat index in May is calculated to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Fatigue might occur with continuous exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
