Weather in May
Temperature
With the onset of May, Signal's weather sees a minor temperature rise, transitioning from 75.2°F (24°C) in April to a still warm 83.1°F (28.4°C). Signal, in May, observes a steady average low-temperature of 63.5°F (17.5°C).Heat index
May's heat index is evaluated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one continues to be active during exposure, it might cause tiredness and subsequent heat cramps.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.

Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
