Weather in May
Temperature
The start of May signals a slight increase in the average high-temperature, moving from a pleasant 72.9°F (22.7°C) in April to a moderately hot 81.5°F (27.5°C). An average nighttime temperature of 64.8°F (18.2°C) is observed during May.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is estimated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Persisting in activity during long-term exposure might induce weariness, with subsequent heat cramps.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 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 tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
