Weather in May
Temperature
The start of May brings a subtle shift in the average high-temperature, edging up from April's 76.8°F (24.9°C) to a still moderately hot 83.8°F (28.8°C). Throughout May, an average low-temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) is experienced.Heat index
For most parts of May, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light 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 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
