Weather in May
Temperature
The shift from April to May sees a slight increase in the average high-temperature, transitioning from a moderately hot 73.4°F (23°C) to a still warm 81.3°F (27.4°C). May's nights observe an average temperature of 60.6°F (15.9°C).Heat index
May's average heat index is estimated at a hot 86°F (30°C). If one remains active during constant exposure, it might cause exhaustion and heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
