Weather in May
Temperature
May's onset witnesses a minor shift in the average high-temperature, moving from a moderately hot 73.6°F (23.1°C) in April to a still warm 81.1°F (27.3°C). Epworth observes an average nighttime low-temperature of 61°F (16.1°C) during the month of May.Heat index
In May, the average heat index is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). If exposure and ongoing activity persist, they might induce a state of tiredness and heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
