Weather in May
Temperature
The start of May brings a subtle shift in the average high-temperature, edging up from April's warm 75.7°F (24.3°C) to a still moderately hot 83.3°F (28.5°C). The average low-temperature, in May, is an enjoyable 63.1°F (17.3°C).Heat index
May's heat index is estimated at a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If exposure and activity persist, fatigue could ensue, possibly leading to heat cramps.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
