Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset brings a subtle temperature rise, moving from 73.9°F (23.3°C) in April to a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C). An average nighttime temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C) is recorded during May.Heat index
The heat index value for May is appraised at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Fatigue might occur with continuous exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
