Weather in May
Temperature
The arrival of May coincides with an average high-temperature of a tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), indicating a minimal shift from April's 83.3°F (28.5°C). During May, the nighttime temperature averages of 70.7°F (21.5°C).Heat index
During May, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 104°F (40°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
