Weather in May
Temperature
May's arrival brings a slight change in high-temperatures, adjusting from a moderately hot 74.7°F (23.7°C) in April to a still warm 81.1°F (27.3°C). In Shell Point, the average temperature during the nights of May drops to a refreshing 66.9°F (19.4°C).Heat index
For May, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 86°F (30°C). Continuing activity during long-lasting exposure might induce tiredness and result in heat cramps.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
