Weather in May
Temperature
Observing a slight rise in May, the average high-temperature shifts from April's warm 73.9°F (23.3°C) to a still moderately hot 81.3°F (27.4°C). The nights of May anticipate an average low-temperature of 63.1°F (17.3°C).Heat index
The heat index for May is evaluated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
