Weather in May
Temperature
The shift into May is accompanied by a modest temperature increase, with the average high-temperature edging up from a warm 74.1°F (23.4°C) in April to a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C). The average low-temperature during May nights is an enjoyable 63.7°F (17.6°C).Heat index
May's mean heat index is computed to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). Continued exposure and engagement in activity might trigger tiredness and subsequently heat cramps.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
