Weather in May
Temperature
May introduces a minor temperature shift, with average high-temperatures adjusting from April's pleasant 72.7°F (22.6°C) to a moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). An average low-temperature of 64.8°F (18.2°C) is recorded during the nights in May.Heat index
During May, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Persistent activity under exposure might lead to a feeling of weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
